Get also none product image thumbnails via API

[cewald]

What is the motivation for adding / enhancing this feature?

At the moment it seems only to be possible to fetch product images thumbnails via the api (for Magento 1 and 2).

As I implement some CMS data to our Vue-Storefront I noticed that it might be a good core feature to also fetch images which are not in the `/media/catalog/product" folder.

In fact this is a feature which is deeply implemented everywhere in the core and theme and you would need to extend the API as well if you ad a new endpoint. This will be a lot of code changes.

I think the best way would be to extend the current getThumbnail() by a path parameter which might be set in the config.json for the different types (cms/product).

What are the acceptance criteria

• Add new parameter to method getThumbnail() to add a /media path with default product path as default parameter to get product images as usual to prevent to change the theme and core modules at all places
• Add two new paths to VSF config in images for product_path and cms_path
• Change API base imgUrl in magento1 and magento2 platform settings to /media base path without /catalog/product or maybe use assetPath
• Serve backwards compatibility for old path in api settings

Can you complete this feature request by yourself?

• YES
• NO

Which Release Cycle state this refers to? Info for developer.

Pick one option.

• This is a normal feature request. This should be available on https://test.storefrontcloud.io and then after tests this can be added to next Vue Storefront version. In this case Developer should create branch from develop branch and create Pull Request 2. Feature / Improvement back to develop.
• (Pick this option only if you're sure) This is an important improvement request for current Release Candidate version on https://next.storefrontcloud.io and should be placed in next RC version. In this case Developer should create branch from release branch and create Pull Request 3. Stabilisation fix back to release.
• (Pick this option only if you're sure) This is a critical improvement request for current Stable version on https://demo.storefrontcloud.io and should be placed in next stable version. In this case Developer should create branch from hotfix or master branch and create Pull Request 4. Hotfix back to hotfix.

It's good idea - for sure this should be configurable./extendable (the way we generate thumbnails). Related to https://github.com/DivanteLtd/vue-storefront/issues/3160

@filrak maybe we just can have a mutator hook on generating the thumbnail? It makes a lot of sense and it's very general purpose kind of hook
