That was added in commit 8826beaf0066.  I think this if this is
undefined in your case, I think it could be a problem with your libpng
build, as Paul alludes to here:

    https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=37153#71

As far as I can tell from here,

    https://github.com/mitsuba-renderer/libpng/search?q=PNG_tRNS_SUPPORTED

and here,

    https://github.com/mitsuba-renderer/libpng/blob/master/scripts/pnglibconf.h.prebuilt

libpng is built with PNG_tRNS_SUPPORTED by default.  So why is your
libpng not built with that?
