Improve the instructions and code for the pdf2png example
We need to pass `disableFontFace` and `nativeImageDecoderSupport`
because Node.js has no native support for `@font-face` and `Image`.
Doing so makes it possible to render e.g., the Tracemonkey paper, which
failed before. I made this PDF file the default because it's also the
default in other examples/demos and because it showcases the
possibilities better than the very simple hello world PDF file.

Building the library with `gulp dist-install` is easier and is already
recommended in the other examples.
