(This was previously discussed in Bug#51381.)

Summary: When `image-use-external-converter' is non-nil, don't just give
         up if one fails, try another one.

I have both the GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick tools installed.  The IM
"convert" command supports .heif images, the GM "gm" command does not.

Now I do:

0. curl --output /tmp/C001.heic \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nokiatech/heif_conformance/master/conformance_files/C001.heic
1. emacs -Q --eval '(setq image-use-external-converter t)' /tmp/C001.heic

This gives the error message "Unknown image type", as "gm" can't convert
it.  It would be better if it could fall back to use "convert".
