Feature request: Extracting transparency (alpha), Freeform shapes, and images in Picture fill #1020

Description

I've found that some elements that the current library provides functionalities to draw are not extractable from the .pptx file.
I would enjoy some symmetry in the functionalities, as I am trying to check if I can reconstruct pptx slides after extracting/abstracting their information.
It seems to be that you are aware of these missing features but filing a feature request anyways.

  1. The first one is extracting transparency from shapes. Probably should be done in shape.fill perhaps? I believe that transparency applies to all fill types.

  2. Another one is extracting the path (verticies) from freeform shapes. This seems more difficult than the previous one, but it would be nice to have access to at least some raw form of the path.

  3. The last request is extracting byte images in the Picture fill type. This somewhat relates to the transparency issue as Picture fill in shapes is usually used to make transparent images.

I hope I didn't smash unrelated requests in a single issue. But I found that these share similarities in terms of missing symmetry on the extraction side.
