Resolves #9022
PNG images can only have a maximum of 16 bits per channel - https://www.libpng.org/pub/png/spec/1.2/PNG-Chunks.html
However, Pillow still allows saving PNG images as I mode, by clipping the data.
The issue has requested that we prevent this automatic transformation, so this PR deprecates it.
