Change roles of modes and functions in image-mode.el (Bug#5062). * image-mode.el: Replace `image-mode-maybe' with `image-mode' in `auto-mode-alist'. (image-mode-previous-major-mode): New variable. (image-minor-mode-map): Rename from `image-mode-text-map'. (image-mode): Move graceful error-handling code from `image-minor-mode' to here. On errors call `image-mode-as-text'. (image-minor-mode): Remove all image-handling code. Replace `image-mode-text-map' with `image-minor-mode-map'. Check for `image-type' in mode-line format string. (image-mode-maybe): Make obsolete with an alias to `image-mode'. (image-mode-as-text): New function with most code from `image-mode-maybe'. (image-toggle-display-text): Move code that removes image properties from `image-toggle-display' to here. (image-toggle-display-image): New function with code that adds image properties copied from `image-toggle-display'. (image-toggle-display): Remove most code with leaving only code that toggles between `image-mode-as-text' and `image-mode'.

 ** Support for generating Emacs 18 compatible bytecode (by setting
 the variable `byte-compile-compatibility') has been removed.
 
+** In image-mode.el `image-mode-maybe' is obsolete.  Instead, you can
+either use `image-mode' that displays an image file as the actual image
+inititally, or `image-mode-as-text' when you want to display an image file
+as text inititally.  `image-mode-as-text' is a combination of a non-image
+mode from `auto-mode-alist' (or Fundamental mode) and `image-minor-mode'.
+`image-minor-mode' provides `C-c C-c' key binding to toggle image display.
+`image-toggle-display-text' removes image properties.
+`image-toggle-display-image' adds image properties.
+`image-toggle-display' toggles between `image-mode-as-text' and
+`image-mode'.
