This PR fixes several possible memory leaks due to loading images in
markdown files and the image viewer, using the new image cache APIs
TODO:
- [x] Ensure this didn't break rendering in any of the affected
components.
Release Notes:
- Fixed several image related memory leaks

I really liked the earlier PR, but had an idea for how to utilize the
element state so that you don't need to construct the cache externally.
I've updated the APIs to introduce an `ImageCacheProvider` trait, and
added an example implementation of it to the image gallery :)
Release Notes:
- N/A
Closes#27414
`ImageCache` is independent of the original image loader and can
actively release its cached images to solve the problem of images loaded
from the network or files not being released.
It has two constructors:
- `ImageCache::new`: Manually manage the cache.
- `ImageCache::max_items`: Remove the least recently used items when the
cache reaches the specified number.
When creating an `img` element, you can specify the cache object with
`Img::cache`, and the image cache will be managed by `ImageCache`.
In the example `crates\gpui\examples\image-gallery.rs`, the
`ImageCache::clear` method is actively called when switching a set of
images, and the memory will no longer continuously increase.
