This PR deprecates the sdl2.ext.load_image function (which returned inconsistent SDL surface types depending on the back end used), and adds the new functions sdl2.ext.load_bmp and sdl2.ext.load_img to take its place.
This also adds a new function sdl2.ext.save_bmp for saving SDL surfaces as BMP files, as well as another function sdl2.ext.pillow_to_surface for converting PIL Image.Image() objects into SDL surfaces.
