Create a new layer from a `GdkPixbuf`.

This procedure creates a new layer from the given `GdkPixbuf`. The image has to be an RGB image and just like with `gimp_layer_new()` you will still need to add the layer to it.

If you pass `progress_end` > `progress_start` to this function, `gimp_progress_update()` will be called for. You have to call `gimp_progress_init()` beforehand then.

`image_ID` : | The RGB image to which to add the layer.
`name` : | The layer name.
`pixbuf` : | A GdkPixbuf.
`opacity` : | The layer opacity.
`mode` : | The layer combination mode.
`progress_start` : | start of progress
`progress_end` : | end of progress
Returns : | The newly created layer.
