Add conversion to jpg to covers

But I think that it would be better if calibre itself autoconvert cover files to a reliable format (as jpg). So I implemented a change in BasicNewsRecipe so that recipes could tell calibre that the cover needs conversion to jpg

Attached is the change and the recipe using it. It is my first digging into calibre's source code and I'm a python beginner so any comments are welcome, hoping this change to be included in a future calibre release.

Best regards.
