Description

It would be nice if ImageGridFsProxy would pass the kwargs to _put_thumbnail() so a content-type can be saved with the thumbnail. Without this some projects (like Flask Admin) will serve the GridFS thumbnail image as text/html instead of the correct image content type.

Maybe as simple as:
thumb_id = self._put_thumbnail(thumbnail, img_format, progressive, **kwargs)
vs.
thumb_id = self._put_thumbnail(thumbnail, img_format, progressive)

Research direction

Start in mongoengine/fields.py around line 1940 and inspect ImageGridFsProxy's call to _put_thumbnail(). Confirm how the thumbnail kwargs carry the content type, then verify that saved thumbnails retain the requested image content type rather than defaulting to text/html.
