Replace old item 'potmeter' by new item 'pimage'. Recent versions of the X11/GTK GUI didn't allow to control a potmeter, because that didn't seem to make any sense. In order to get rid of the confusing potmeter that doesn't distinguish from a hpotmeter and in order to allow the more useful behaviour recent versions of the X11/GTK GUI have been utilized (and because we're still supporting item 'potmeter' for reasons of compatibility with old skins), introduce new item 'pimage' that reuses most of the current potmeter code. Additionally, remove remaining code and documentation of 'potmeter'.
