svg (scalable vector graphics) usually means a smaller file, while the fact of being a scalable image format, rather than rasterized, prevents pixalation. I think it should be default file format.
This updates the README to speak of `pycallgraph.svg` instead of `pycallgraph.png` accordingly.

I would like to bump this to get it included as the default .png suffers massively from pixilation at large sizes. |

Bumping this again, png is too pixelated to be useable in any meaningful use cases. |

Explanation:
svg (scalable vector graphics) usually lead to a smaller file, while at the same time the fact of being a scalable image format, rather than rasterized, prevents pixalation. I think it should be default file format for such an application, as the graph might get pretty big, depending on the project one tries to inspect with it.
I've seen a few libraries outputting ~10MB .pngs with "nothing to see there" anyway. (The output I got with pycallgraph2 was ~1MB and readable, but pixalated.)
Thanks for maintaining this library. :)
