Add options for cover art processing
Proposed Mentors: outsidecontext / zas

Picard should allow to post process cover art images provided by the providers. For this there could be provider independent options to restrict image sizes, resize images if it exceeds a maximum allowed size or automatic format conversion.
This project would entail the following components:
- Evaluate the suggested components for image processing and choose the best fit
- Add the necessary options UI to allow the user to configure the image processing
- Implement the image processing for resizing and format selection
- Implement a image post processing plugin hook to allow plugins to do additional image manipulations
