[API - Images] Copy a map as a single image and automatically import it to the user's library

I'd like to propose an additional method for map graphics in the api, something along the lines of map.capture that takes everything on the map and/or token layers, combines it into a single image, and saves that image to the user's library as <mapname>.png. This is purely a performance optimization. I want to be able to generate a tile-based map using the API, but then save the resulting tens or hundreds of rendered tiles as a single image so that I don't slow my players' machines to a crawl. This is also generally useful for DMs who manually create maps, for the same reasons. Whether you're using a script or putting things down on your own, being able to get a single clean result would do wonders for performance Because this uses drawings that are already on a layer within Roll20, it's already subject to current and any future restrictions on images
