consider caching decoded images on disk

Project Member Reported by boliu@chromium.org, Aug 8 
I encountered this while trying to track down why new tab in clank launches a new utility process. Turns out it's to decode the thumbnail image for articles in the ntp.

Launching a child process is slow, uses a bunch more ram compared to desktop, and has wider ramifications. Maybe consider decoding an image once, and then caching the result? At minimum it should be a lot faster.

Afaik we are in the process of doing this. +wylieb +gangwu, feel free to dedupe this into a different task if we already have one that'll accomplish this. Is this going to be done as part of M3?

I'll be implementing a cached image fetcher that transcodes the image when it's downloaded. Subsequent cache hits will decode directly in the browser process. Closing this since this task is already tracked.
