[Bf-docboard] Original (higher quality) manual images available

[Campbell Barton]

Hi Tobias,
While this seems like a fun challenge, I'm quite skeptical that this
would be usable for us.

Currently document writers can take a screenshot and commit it, I can
only assume this would take some extra step when adding images.

On the other hand if this was made into a build-step, its going to
slow-down building documentation.

It also seems rather fragile - subtle differences in font kerning are
likely to make text display differently (where it may not fit).
And this would have to somehow support thumbnails too.

Solid colors already compress quite well with PNG, and shaded areas of
the screen will have to be images anyway (unless you incorporate WebGL
into this system).

The potential to have interactive parts of the image could be useful
in some cases,
however that can be done using images too.
