Package should describe `imagemagick` mogrify as a dependency #3

Hello!

I kind of stumbled onto this plugin while exploring the colcon docs. I like it! Small suggestion: can the README.md indicate imagemagick as a dependency? My first run attempt (setting COLCON_ANIMATION_PROGRESS=1 and installing the python distribution from cloned source) I got a "no such file or directory" error while the plugin was trying to execute the mogrify command!

Unfortunately, ImageMagick is not available for pip to install and therefore can't be declared as a Python dependency.

I found that graphviz-gd is also needed and can't be expressed as a Python dependency.
