Add endpoint for generating an image of a letter
The PDF preview is all good, but it’s hard, finickeity and feels dirty to embed a PDF in a web page. It’s a more natural thing to embed an image in a web page. So this commit adds another endpoint to return an image of a letter template. It generates this image from the PDF preview, so the stack looks like: 1. `template.png` (generated in admin) 2. `template.pdf` (generated in admin) 3. HTML preview (generated by a `Renderer` in utils) 4. `Template` instance 5. serialised template from API 6. Template stored in database The library used to convert the PDF to an image is Wand[1], which binds to ImageMagick underneath. So in order to get this working locally on a Mac you will probably need to do: `brew install imagemagick ghostscript cairo pango`. To get it working on Ubuntu/EC2 is an exercise left to the reader… 1. http://docs.wand-py.org/en/0.4.4/
