Requirements should check that server is correctly configured for image styles

Right now in D7, it is possible that image styles don't work, and Drupal does not remind you of that.

This especially happens with lighttpd, where you cannot rely on the usual .htaccess magic. It might also happen if you tell Apache to ignore the .htaccess and do everything in the main server config instead.

Proposed solution:
We could do a test http request to a nonexisting file, and check whether it is correctly forwarded to index.php. If not, we show a warning on "Status report".

    Wonder with no movement or follow up after 10 years if this is still a valid task?

    Well I created this long ago and currently don't have the active use case.

    So the questions would be:

    • Are there currently (Drupal 9 or 10) scenarios where image styles don't work because of some kind of misconfiguration with .htaccess, file perms etc? I think file perms for sites/default/files is covered by some other check, but what if the image styles dir is not writable even though sites/default/files is?
    • Do we still care about Drupal 7?
