Limit users who can use bulk compress tools #4

I think it's good to limit the bulk compress tools to users with manage_options capability.

Thanks for contributing. We started the plugin to transparent compress the images while uploading and added the bulk compression later to help existing WordPress installations compressing everything. We thought that if a user is allowed to upload images it should also be allowed to compress the images he previously uploaded.

What are you thoughts to make it only for users with manage_options? It will mean that the users cannot bulk select from the media library either if they are missing the manage_options capability but do have upload_files.

It was my understanding that you can specify the capability in the third argument of add_management_page and WordPress will handle the access control automatically. Is there any reason you still put in an if statement?
