Reduce memory usage by not duplicating button images in memory

[stuartm]

The attached 'proof of concept' patch significantly reduces memory usage of mythfrontend with some themes by not loading the same watermarks and icons into memory multiple times. Right now if two menu entries share the same watermark or icon, then that image is loaded each time. The patch instead maintains a list of loaded images and pointers allowing a single image in memory to be shared.

Another benefit should be that startup is marginally faster because we no longer go back to the disk each time.

Example memory savings with blootube-wide (mileage my vary)

Normal - Without Patch
----------------------
VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
593m 302m  33m S  0.0 30.1   0:52.66 mythfrontend

With Patch
----------
VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
435m 143m  33m S  0.0 14.3   0:04.54 mythfrontend

after old mythtv has been running for a while
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
mythtv   15397  1.5  6.0 185880 31344 pts/3    SLl  May25   7:28 usr/local/bin/mythfrontend

freshly restarted old mythfrontend
mythtv    2399 19.7  9.4 118696 48536 pts/3    RLl  00:28   0:06 mythfrontend

and patched with the above path and freshly restarted
mythtv   15366  8.9  8.4 114532 43452 pts/3    SLl  02:07   0:05 mythfrontend

resident mem usage went down by about 5mb after patching and vm size went down by about 4mb patch does appear to be saving some memory:)
