Subject: [PATCH]  Ensure QR codes have a border large enough

(The QR code spec requires a border at least 4*box_size thick but we can't
 just set border=16 because that results in a QR code more than 255px tall
 and I'm not yet ready to use fullimage() as a backend for it)

This fix was originally commited by Stephan Sokolow on 2014-05-22
