Use instances instead of pointers. Where pointers are needed, the address of these objects can be given. This removes a small amount of resource handling code in quit().

Use smart pointers instead of raw pointers for the Image class. This removes a small amount of resource handling code in quit().
Avoid calling delete on raw pointers which ButtonImages contains, since these pointers should be managed by smart pointers in GraphicsObjects (in the vector of Image smart pointers).
Use smart pointers instead of raw pointers for the BaseTransition class. This removes a small amount of resource handling code in quit().
Do not delete BaseTransition objects because the raw pointers are now treated as non-owning (the smart pointers in GraphicsObjects actually store the BaseTransition instances).

Addresses #3. Does not entirely avoid raw pointers - sometimes they are still used in non-owning circumstances, and for holding
BaseStageobjects.This PR means the code now avoids using
newordeletefor anything except creating and destroying stages. The destruction of stages is encapsulated in thecan_delete_meparameter anyway, so memory leaks are less likely.
