*Description*
-------------
Image controls can now be bound to images which are embedded in the
document where the control lives in.

More precise, when you select an image to be displayed at an image
control, the "Link" option in the file picker is not disabled anymore.
When you uncheck the option (the default is "checked", to mimic the
legacy behavior), then the image is displayed in the control, and upon
saving the document, it's embedded in the document itself.

This way, you can create documents with image controls which are
exchangeable with other people/installations/platforms, which formerly
was much more difficult due to the need to also copy the images, and
place them in exactly the same location as on the originating machine
(which often is simply impossible).

Thanks for Noel Power for providing the patch for this.
