Add 4:5 aspect ratio to cropping

The 4:5 aspect ratio is highly popular -- for example, I believe it is the default for Instagram posts.

Adding this as an option in the drop-down menu would be hugely beneficial to our editors, who right now resort to a couple of different workarounds to achieve this. This includes manually drawing the crop box, although that can be difficult to get the numbers exactly right -- and you have to calculate them in the first place.

Alternatively, changing the "height" and "width" boxes in the cropping tool to allow free entry would be a good alternative, if that's easier.
