Working on legacy view controllers to help preserver the layout and settings of albums and images when sites upgrade or migrate from versions pre 8.x-5.x.

Remaining tasks

Rename $node->album to $node->photos_album
Only save view / sort etc. if legacy mode is enabled.
Make sure album data is not destroyed if legacy mode is disabled and data already exists.

We might be able to write instructions on how to replace legacy sizes and settings with view modes. Then the legacy controllers could be removed.
