Support static images

[petrgazarov]

Summary

gatsby-image has a handy component StaticImage which allows to use it with static images, rather than coming from GraphQL. It would be great if this package also supported it. I skimmed through docs and issues, but nowhere seems to be any information about it.

Basic example

import BackgroundImage from 'gatsby-background-image';

<BackgroundImage src='../images/main-hero.png' />

Motivation

Support for static images is useful when you have images that aren't served in your GraphQL queries.

Hi @petrgazarov!

Yip, that would be a nice addition, though, as I already looked into it, @wardpeet wrote a whole babel plugin for that oO.
Gonna see if / when I find the time to replicate that for gbi % ).

Best,

Tim.

Hi @timhagn :)

Could you please link the plugin that you are referring to? I've quickly skimmed through @wardpeet's repositories to see if I could find it, but I can't.
