        requires
            - image_type == an image object that implements the interface defined in
              dlib/image_processing/generic_image.h or a matrix expression
            - image.size() != 0
        ensures
            - writes the image to the file indicated by file_name in the PNG (Portable Network Graphics) 
              format.
            - image[0][0] will be in the upper left corner of the image.

              corner of the image.
            - This routine can save images containing any type of pixel.  However, save_png() can
              only natively store the following pixel types: rgb_pixel, rgb_alpha_pixel, uint8, 
              and uint16.  All other pixel types will be converted into one of these types as 
              appropriate before being saved to disk.

            - image_save_error
                This exception is thrown if there is an error that prevents us from saving 
                the image.
