[FEATURE] More output format choices in raster save as dialog

Previously only geotiff format was available, even though the
underlying QgsRasterFileWriter/GDAL libraries support other
formats.

This commit exposes those other formats to the dialog so that
users can directly save rasters to them (including everyone's
new BFF, geopackage).
