Create readonly, copyable, text+image widget #66

This would be useful in about screens, error messages, server address display, monster abilities, and other text displays. Critically, it should support using the mouse for selection without displaying a cursor artifact; it should support copying; it should also support rich text and images.

I've dug through DrRacket's source a bit (after noticing that it's about screen did pretty much what I want), and I think I can build something on the scaffolding once I understand how it works. The relevant code starts in https://github.com/racket/drracket/blob/master/drracket/drracket/private/app.rkt, in particular using the about-frame% and wrap-edit% classes, which are instantiated in about-drscheme.

Understanding this code will definitely requiring understand the methods being overridden and the super-classes and interfaces of the relevant classes. Hopefully I can distill this expert system down to a reusable component.

Should support reasonable text-reflowing.
