Support img tags in HTML label text

PR Description:

Allows use of img tags in HTML label content. The following logic is applied:

• Image path is set via the src="xxx" attribute. Local, HTTP, and base64 encoded paths are permitted
• Any image format readable by QGIS can be used
• Image sizes can be specified via the width="##" and height="##" attributes. If width or height is not specified it will automatically be calculated from the original image size
• If width or height are specified, they are considered to be in POINTS
• The css width/height settings are NOT respected (this is a Qt limitation)
• Images are not supported for curved text labels
• Images are placed inline only, floating images are not supported
