Uh, this is going to cause regressions if you don't give the image a palette.

I'd like to avoid adding pixel format conversions (and new palettes) in
gdiplus, instead once this patch is committed I'm planning to make gdiplus
use WIC format converters, then missing and wider used conversions can be
added one by one on the WIC side. The "regression" is expected and intentional,
otherwise transition to using WIC format conerters won't happen.

I decided to make things work using current gdiplus code first, and added
support for converting RGB to indexed pixel formats. That way there is
a bunch of working tests that will help to make sure that transition to
using WIC pixel converters won't break existing functionality.

Thanks for your comments.
