Create the other side of conversion chain when IM is banned (bug #12646).

We allow png, jpg to channel through already existing tiff2ps (library
libtiff-tools). Other formats can be added if there is a request.

For future reference:
- using pnmtops seem to have issues with landscape/portrait flip, so
  tiff2ps seems better alternative.
- using GraphicsMagick won't help because some distros ban postscript
  processing directly in its code (e.g. openSUSE)

This patch finishes IM policy ban handling, we can't probably do much
better.
