Gabriel et al,

I've updated the Image Browser plugin:

- introduced failsafe loading, so images which cannot be loaded will not
disrupt anything (will be show as a black canvas, even if within a sequence)
(thanks to Gabriel Landini for reporting on this).
- Added futher memory control when creating awt.Image objects, since it was
not checked that there was enough memory before creating them (only when
loading the files to an ImagePlus object). Yes out of memory errors where
possible because of the double memory representation of any image (the
ImageProcessor and the awt.Image), but hopefully not anymore.
- Increased the minimum amount of memory to be free before loading an image
file or creating an awt.Image to 40%, to ensure proper opening of large files
under low memory conditions. Users may want to fine tune this value for their
specific needs.
- Clicking a panel now makes it be unloaded last in the cache, so most
recently browsed are kept for a longer time.
- Added alt+double-click to open a single slice in a stack or sequence.
