[Bf-docboard] Figure image inconsistency

[Tobias Heinke]

Hey Glen,

In https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/4229 one of the main devs 
says it's an intended behavior.
I assume all (also mobile) browsers have a right click - context menu 
option like View Image or Open image in new tab - IMO that's sufficient.

Deactivating the links would require a JS script to loop over all links 
to prevent the click event (slow) and CSS for the cursor.
Adding links is only possible with an extension.

It's a balance of: when you want to view the image it should be big, but 
if have to scroll over it can be annoying. page overview gets lost...
So it's a case by case decision and the guide would become too lengthy.

Happy holidays,
Tobias
