Albrecht Schlosser 1d73c0195c Improve docs and add two new Fl_Menu_Item methods (#875)
This addresses some issues pointed out by GitHub Issue #875.

Documentation lacked details about Fl_Multi_Label assignment and
correct memory handling.

The new methods
 - Fl_Menu_Item::image_label(const Fl_Image *) and
 - Fl_Menu_Item::multi_label(const Fl_Multi_Label *)
provide a cleaner interface to assign images and Fl_Multi_Label's
to menu items.

examples/howto-menu-with-images.cxx: carify some issues, fix leak,
  and use new Fl_Menu_Item::multi_label(const Fl_Multi_Label *).

// ownership has been "transferred" to the Fl_Multi_Label (correct).
// The old label is not released (as documented).

// item->label(FL_MULTI_LABEL, (const char *)ml); // deprecated (1.3.x)

// string which must be released prior to assigning an image to the label
// with 'item->image()'.
