Bind 'imenu' to 'M-g i' globally

Another candidate was 'M-s i'.  Discussion on emacs-devel has led me

* lisp/bindings.el (goto-map): Bind 'imenu' to 'M-g i' globally.
* etc/NEWS: Document the change.
* doc/emacs/programs.texi (Imenu):
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el: Replace 'M-x imenu' with 'M-g i'.
