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'.

software scaler filter docs

-ssf cgb=<float> chrominance gaussian blur
        useful for videos with some chroma (color) noise (TV captures, VHS, ...)

-ssf lgb=<float> -> luminance gaussian blur
        hmm, mostly special effect, could be used as lame noise reducer though

-ssf chs=<int> -> shift chrominance horizontally
-ssf cvs=<int> -> shift chrominance vertically
        useful if the luma & chroma are not aligned exactly

-ssf cs=<float> -> chrominance sharpen
-ssf ls=<float> -> luminance sharpen
        simple sharpening filter

note: these will only work if the swscaler is used at all (use -vf scale)

example: mplayer foobar.avi -vf scale -ssf lgb=3.0
