Cherry-Pick: newbitmaps: Always generate bitmaps in 8bpp mode.

ImageMagick may produce 1bpp mode for background if the image is modified (ex,
x86 output). We need to ensure the output to be 8bpp mode for firmware to
render images correctly.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:11078
TEST=make x86 # all images are in 8bpp mode.
