Output as SVG instead of PNG and minor cosmetic fixes. #15

The PNG files were very blurry on my retina MBP so I modified UMLGraph to generate SVG using Graphviz. I also made the show/hide UML into a more visible button because the link was hard to notice. I also updated DEFAULT_EXTERNAL_APIDOC to point to the Java 7 APIs.

Generating SVG instead of PNG images has got a lot of advantages:

files are smaller
better quality on high resolution displays and for zooming
currently directly supported by most browsers
embedded SVG images allow searching for text in images

Two questions:

Is it planned to merge this pull request into master?
Are there plans to use embedded SVG images?

I agree with SVGs being superior to PNGs but imo this should be user configurable and implemented via a strategy pattern.
