Description

Hi, when I recently used the library for the first time, I encountered two things in the screenshot lib that gave me issues:
1. by default class Html2Image generates terminal logging. As I'm using this log to monitor test progress, I want to disable this (unnecessary) logging
2. when using the keyword Take Screenshot with the png option, the html screenshot is also generated. I don't need both, so I want to have an argument to discard the html if a png is created.

Let me know what you think. I have a changed file `screenshot.py` ready if you agree to this change.

Cheers, Jeroen

Research direction

Start by reading screenshot.py, especially the Html2Image behavior and the Take Screenshot keyword handling for the png option. The change is complete when logging can be disabled and users can choose whether the HTML screenshot is retained when a PNG is generated; no test file is mentioned, so identify the relevant test entry point before editing.
