SVG to PNG conversion tries to call Windows EXE on Linux #1223

Hello,

When trying to load an SVG resource, I encounter an error saying that msdfgen.exe could not be found.
This seems to originate from this line:
https://github.com/HeapsIO/heaps/blob/master/hxd/fs/Convert.hx#L404

command("msdfgen.exe", ["-svg", srcPath, "-size", '$size', '$size', "-autoframe", "-o", dstPath]);

To account for Linux systems, something like this could be considered.

class ConvertSVGToMSDF extends Convert {
	override function convert() {
		var size = hasParam("size") ? getParam("size") : 128;
		switch(Sys.systemName()){
			case "Windows":
				command("msdfgen.exe", ["-svg", srcPath, "-size", '$size', '$size', "-autoframe", "-o", dstPath]);
			case "Linux":
				command("inkscape", [srcPath, "-o", dstPath]);
			default:
				throw("No SVG to PNG converter specified.");
		}
	}

	static var _ = Convert.register(new ConvertSVGToMSDF("svg", "png"));
}

This is sufficient for my use-case but doesn't take size into account, and does throw an access violation from Hashlink.

The access violation was a VSHaxe issue and is now not occurring.

The suggested code works well on systems with Inkscape installed.
