Synapse's media repository does not preserve colourspace when thumbnailing

[ara4n]

Description

Wide gamut images get their colourspace ignored or removed when thumbnailed by Synapse, making the thumbnail look distinctly drab.

Steps to reproduce

• Upload an image with wide gamut colour to Synapse (e.g. a JPEG in P3 colour space): https://matrix-client.matrix.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/matrix.org/qcexnobqNXHNFShayQgolvsy
• Observe that thumbnail calculated by the sending client is P3 and nice and vivid (when viewed on a wide gamut display): https://matrix-client.matrix.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/matrix.org/IqxsdtpAuPvBYfcbsyqcNTxF
• Observe that the thumbnail calculated by Synapse is drab and no longer wide gamut: https://matrix-client.matrix.org/_matrix/media/v3/thumbnail/matrix.org/qcexnobqNXHNFShayQgolvsy?width=1600&height=1200&method=scale. From a guess, it's just stripping off the colourspace to a default sRGB when thumbnailing it.
