Add Image Importing to the Blogger Importer

Description

The new blogger importer currently does a great job of bringing the blog over to WP, but it leaves the images associated with the blog on blogger.com and/or blogspot.com. This violates blogger's TOS and risks having the user's image links blocked by blogger. This change will move those images (using the WP image upload facility, of course) to the user's blog and fix the links as the import is done.

I believe the importer also strips out all embedded content (video, audio, etc). That shouldn't happen!

Extra +1. The WordPress importer can do this when importing from WordPress.com, the Blogger importer should do the same thing.
