Add new oneImage button #38

It seems like Pinterest made some improvements to the widgets recently, and introduced a new button with counter.

It's really easy to introduce, but maybe we should think about how and where to use it. We could, for example, expose a shortcode for the user to consume, but also something that hooks automatically into the page, maybe below posts, to share the featured image with the post's URL.

@EugenioPetulla this is up to you.

The shortcode is a direct approach we can afford now. The problem with hooking it at the bottom of the article is that a lot of sharing plugins got this feature better builted. Thinking about Jetpack sharing as instance you coluld also choose what image to share after clicking the button on a certain page.

The problem that we can solve implementing just the shortcode is that you can embedd a specific image and count the pins only for this specific image, not the overall sharing on pinterest!

@EugenioPetulla If you don't specify an image URL, the Pin it button lets you choose one among the images it finds in the page you're sharing. Try it yourself in the widget builder. It's basically what the Any image type Pin it button does.

Ok, I will try this now. I have one hour so I will figure out how to make it work whout interfearing with other share buttons plugins like jetpack and co.
