[ThumbnailsConvertor] Support conversion to png and make it the default (#333)

PNG, being a lossless format, should be a better default here compared to JPG since we won't be compressing to a lossy format and losing some of the original image data
PNG is also supported for embedding in all the formats similar to JPEG
