[racket] Plot to png

Contrary to the docs, a plot-view inherits from image-snip, which means you should be able to get the bitmap and from there you should be able to write things to a file. (See below.) 

But this is clearly an oversight and calls for an extension. Then again, perhaps I am overlooking things -- Matthias
