Refactor progressbar & blur handling This tries to fix a number of related issues: * the blurred thumbnail was visible for a split-second sometimes when switching back to an already-loaded image. (Presumably when JS was sluggish enough to take more than 10 ms to execute.) We now check whether the promise is pending before showing a placeholder. (More generally, a lot of unnecessary logic was executed when paging through already loaded images, like displaying the placeholder, so this might make the UI a bit more responsive.) * the blur could get stuck sometimes - I have seen this a few times, but have never been able to reproduce it, so I'm only guessing, but maybe the timing was really unfortunate, and we switched back less than 10 ms before loading finished. We now remove the blur on every branch, just to be sure. * adding a progress handler to a promise might not have any immediate effect, so when switching to an image which was loading, the progress bar reacted too late. We now store the progress state per thumbnail so it is always available immediately. * the progress would animate from 0 to its actual state whenever we navigated to the image. The change on paging is now instant; the progress bar only animates when we are looking at it. * switching quickly back and forthe between a loaded and a loading image resulted in the loading image becoming unblurred. This seems fixed now, I'm not sure why. Maybe the "skip on non-pending promise" logic affects it somehow. Also removes some unused things / renames some things which were confusing, and makes an unrelated fix in the image provider, which kept amassing fail handlers.

Use cross-origin img attribute instead of data URI After lots of experimenting with Wireshark and current Chrome + Firefox on Ubuntu 13.10, this is my current understanding of the caching when preloading images with AJAX requests: * on Chrome, the image request always comes from browser cache * Firefox makes two separate requests by default * Firefox with img.crossOrigin = 'anonymous' makes two separate requests, but the second one is a 304 (does not load the image twice) * when the image has already been cached by the browser (but not in this session), Chrome skips both requests; Firefox skips the AJAX request, but sends the normal one, and it returns with 304. "wish I knew this when I started" things: * the Chrome DevTools has an option to disable cache. When this is enabled, requests in the same document context still come from cache (so if I load the page, fire an AJAX request, then without reloading the page, fire an AJAX request to the same URL, then the second request will be cached), but an AJAX request - image request pair is an exception from this. * when using Ctrl-F5 in Firefox, requests on that page will never hit the cache (even AJAX request fired after user activity; even if two identical requests follow each other). When using clear cache + normal reload, this is not the case. * if the image does not have an Allow-Origin header and is loaded with crossOrigin=true, Firefox will refuse to load it. Chrome will log an error in the console saying it refused to load it, but will actually load it. * Wireshark rocks.

Use cross-origin img attribute instead of data URI After lots of experimenting with Wireshark and current Chrome + Firefox on Ubuntu 13.10, this is my current understanding of the caching when preloading images with AJAX requests: * on Chrome, the image request always comes from browser cache * Firefox makes two separate requests by default * Firefox with img.crossOrigin = 'anonymous' makes two separate requests, but the second one is a 304 (does not load the image twice) * when the image has already been cached by the browser (but not in this session), Chrome skips both requests; Firefox skips the AJAX request, but sends the normal one, and it returns with 304. "wish I knew this when I started" things: * the Chrome DevTools has an option to disable cache. When this is enabled, requests in the same document context still come from cache (so if I load the page, fire an AJAX request, then without reloading the page, fire an AJAX request to the same URL, then the second request will be cached), but an AJAX request - image request pair is an exception from this. * when using Ctrl-F5 in Firefox, requests on that page will never hit the cache (even AJAX request fired after user activity; even if two identical requests follow each other). When using clear cache + normal reload, this is not the case. * if the image does not have an Allow-Origin header and is loaded with crossOrigin=true, Firefox will refuse to load it.

* Checks whether the current browser supports AJAX preloading of images.
* This means that:
* - the browser supports CORS requests (large wiki farms usually host images on a
* separate domain) and
* - either AJAX and normal image loading uses the same cache (when an image is used by a CORS
* request, and then normally by setting img.src, it is only loaded once)
* - or (as is the case with Firefox) they are cached separately, but that can be changed by
* setting the crossOrigin attribute
*
