Current state of affairs:
quality: Can be a number (0-100) or "auto".
max-quality: Only relevant when "quality" is set to "auto".
default-quality: To be used when quality detection isn't working

Proposed state of affairs:
quality: A number (0-100)
auto-limit: Boolean. If set, and quality detection is working, quality will be limited so it does not exceed that of the jpeg.

Pros:

• It seems more intuitively comprehensible.
• It reduces the number of related options with one.
• Quality becomes a less complex type.

Cons:

• Users must adopt to the change.

It should made such that the old options still work, but the library informs that they are deprecated.
