Add option to create svg image with wordcloud_cli #693

Description

I'd like to create an svg image with wordcloud_cli, which is currently not possible.

Steps/Code to Reproduce

--imagefile only references PNG image:

❯ wordcloud_cli --help | grep imagefile
                     [--imagefile file] [--fontfile path] [--mask file]
  --imagefile file      file the completed PNG image should be written to

Expected Results

wordcloud_cli should produce images based on the file extension. i.e. if I use --imagefile img.svg, a SVG should get produced.

Actual Results

❯ wordcloud_cli --imagefile img.svg --mask examples/alice_mask.png --text examples/constitution.txt
❯ file img.svg
img.svg: PNG image data, 900 x 900, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced
