Simplified interface (optional) #25

In my opinion, this plugin's interface is unnecessarily too complex.

I mean, user have option to send screenshot as inline image, as FTP link or as 
hosted link. But in most cases, he want just to send screenshot, no matter how.

There could be - changeable in plugin's configuration - two interface versions:
 - advanced (as now)
 - simplified (default) - just one menu item "Insert Screenshot", instead of menu. It would choose automatically best way to send image

How that new "Insert Screenshot" could choose best method:
 - if inline images support is present (in advanced version it is not grayed-out), use it
 - if not, but ftp is configured - use it
 - if not, use hosted images - even, if not configured - it will give to user information, how to select image hosting provider, as it works now

---

Another improvement - better warning, about not selected image hosting 
provider. Now it says, that you must go to configuration and do something. It 
could show image hosting providers list on the spot. Some don't like looking at 
configuration ;).

I mean: "Some *users* don't like looking at configuration ;)"
