Hi,

Whereas (image-convert "file") works, (image-convert "data" t)
causes an error as follows:

(let ((image-converter 'graphicsmagick))
  (image-convert "data" t))
=>
image-convert: /usr/bin/gm convert: Unable to open file (-) [No such file or directory].

(let ((image-converter 'imagemagick))
  (image-convert "data" t))
=>
image-convert: convert: unable to open image `nil:-': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2873.
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/560.
convert: no images defined `png:-' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3258.

Where "data" is a binary string of a webp image gotten from:
<https://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery/1.sm.webp>
Is a temp file required instead of stdin to those converters?

In relation to this, I think `image-convert' should be autoloaded
for the case where `(create-image FILE-OR-DATA 'image-convert)'
is called from a program other than `find-file'.

Thanks.
