ImageView should have shorthand creation function

[Lubomir Nerad]

Hi Daniel,

thanks for your vote. Currently the plan is to have the same 
interpretation of the url parameter as in "new Image(url)". But there is 
http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-18291 which will address the 
relative URL issue.
