Cannot convert an RGB image into grayscale

Description

Between beta 3 and beta 4 in the ij2 devel mailing list Gabriel Landini reported the following issue:

"I can't find a way of converting a colour image into greyscale in IJ2."

In IJ1 changing any RGB image's type to a gray type (8, 16, 32 bit) will convert the image to grayscale.

In IJ2 the "RGB" image is changed to a three channel gray image. The type changing classes should detect that the image is composite and convert the data to single channel grayscale.
