Make `n' in image-mode work more reliably with external formats

* lisp/image-mode.el (image-mode): Init the external machinery so
that commands like `n' work for those files.
* lisp/image/image-converter.el (image-converter-initialize):
Factored out into own function.
(image-convert-p): Use it.
(image-convert): Ditto.
