Corrections applied:

- Image.show() method is no longer supporting **title** option, corresponding docs were updated;
- XDGViewer is moved to the end of the viewers queue, this viewer will be utilized when all the previous viewers failed to open the image;
- Documentation of xvViewer has been updated;
- The tests that were opening images in viewers were disabled. Reason: due to implementation a program or a test will not terminate till the image in the viewer is explicitly closed.
