PIL was imported unconditionally at module level, causing a hard crash on `import astroquery.hips2fits` when Pillow is not installed, even though it is only needed for jpg/png response decoding. Moved the import inside _parse_result behind a try/except ImportError, and added Pillow to the `all` extras in pyproject.toml so it is properly declared as optional. Added unit tests that verify a helpful ImportError is raised for both jpg and png formats when Pillow is absent. Closes astropy#3556

this needs some cleanup, but the big picture looks good.

I don't think this is the correct approach, use pytest markers instead to check for the missing pillow install.

These two tests are practically identical, please use pytest parametrize

This needs a rewrite, pillow has been an optional dependency already.
