JDK-8210361: Add images to docs for public API classes of controls

[Anirvan Sarkar]

Hi Nir,

Thanks for this RFE.

Now other UI toolkits like GTK and QT have a separate gallery of
controls[1][2].

I was considering to add something similar in JavaFX but I never got around
to start working on it, mostly due to all the screenshots which is needed
to be taken beforehand !

Since you will now take images of all the controls, you can consider to add
a gallery in this RFE itself.

But if you don't want then someone else (me) can volunteer to do this once
this RFE is merged.

Let me know what you decide :-)
