convert bin is part of ImageMagick package and uses uniconvertor to

Unfortunately uniconvertor is python2 only and not available in most
recent distributions which makes the convert command fail with:
sh: uniconvertor: command not found
/usr/bin/mv: cannot stat '/tmp/magick-1397138DRT8Pzx4Qmoc.svg': No such file or directory
convert: delegate failed `'uniconvertor' '%i' '%o.svg'; /usr/bin/mv '%o.svg' '%o'' @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1958.
convert: unable to open file `/tmp/magick-1397138S8ARueJXLXkc': No such file or directory @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/605.
convert: no images defined `docs/migration-managed-direct.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3226.
It looks like that there are plans to somehow port uniconvertor into
python3 but as part of different project color-picker but the job is
far from complete.
FYI i would support replacing the .fig files in git with .svgs
which will avoid the extra conversion step. The .fig stuff is just
too anachronistic to be worth worrying about.
Actually, I think that is the right way to go instead of just removing
this rule. Because if we ever change a *.fig file we have to remember to
regenerate the corresponding .png file. And then we can drop .png files
from our repos.
