[WIP] Accepting "format" as a query parameter

[jaxxibae]

When ?format=<png|svg> is present, it'll automatically convert the image to one of the two formats. If not specified, will return a SVG image.

• Closes #40

Known Bug: images using ?format=png aren't rendering the server icon.

@pedrofracassi help

[pedrofracassi]

How are we placing the icon in the image? Does this problem have something to do with sharp not being able to fetch the icon? Do we use base64?

[jaxxibae]

I think sharp isn't converting that <image> tag that's embedded in the SVG variant, we'd have to figure it out.

Maybe try this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58408753/svg-as-svgs-image-tag-not-working-while-using-with-sharp

Any updates on this PR? Maybe the make an issue in the sharp Github.

[jaxxibae]

No need to send them an issue, I just haven't got the time yet to pick this back up, I'll probably pick it up today.

EDIT: Thanks @pedrofracassi for the suggestion, I'll test it when I can.

Also @almeidx when format isn't specified, should it default to SVG?

To avoid breaking changes to the API, yes

@pedrofracassi Your suggestion didn't work. I wasn't able to convert the jpeg/gif file which is our guild icon inside the SVG, w/o using other libs, and I don't want to add more dependencies to this project.

You guys could always use ReSVG v2 added the ability to render images from external links

Tested ReSVG and it did work
