[LyX/master] Use inkscape as fallback png->eps converter

[Koji Yokota]

> +        from PIL import Image

On macOS, python module “pillow” is not installed by default, so it raises the following error at configuration time:

> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "/Users/koji/workspace/repo/lyx-collab/collab/lib/configure.py", line 2184, in <module>
>     checkConverterEntries()
