ggimage: Use Images in 'ggplot2'

Supports image files and graphic objects to be visualized in 'ggplot2' graphic system. Images can be drawn at data points, used as the background of a plot, or embedded as a sub-plot, and can be read from local files or downloaded from remote services such as 'Pokemon', 'PhyloPic', and emoji and icon collections. An interactive geom is provided for 'HTML' output.
