Like `image`’s `:alt:` directive, allow `:title:` for creating titles on pointer hover. The use case here is different from alt as alt is for assistive technologies & titles are more to give a labels for images for those with pointer cursors.

Expected input

~~~
.. image:: /house.jxl
	:alt: Home
	:title: Navigate home
	:target: /

.. image:: /cat.jxl
	:alt: A Siamese cat on a chair
	:title: Chula says, “meow”
~~~

Expected HTML output

~~~
<a href="/"><img src="/house.jxl" alt="Home" title="Navigate home"></a>
<img src="/cat.jxl" alt="A Siamese cat on a chair" title="Chula says, “meow”">
~~~
