JeffM2501: Add notes on changes to image caching system

Add notes on changes to image caching system

New page

==Overview==
There are several enhancements we can make to our image caching system.
===Tracker Items===
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3602336&group_id=3248&atid=353248

==Image Download Confirm==
It would be nice to be able to ask the end user if they wish to add a specific server to the allowed downloads. Children who are running with a locked access file should not be asked. The message should be similar to the message for SSL sites with self signed keys in browsers.

==Force Reload==
In order for a server to use dynamically generated images it must be able to tell clients to reload the image. This has several challenges.

# The client would have to store a hash for the image (may already be done)
# The client would have to know the URL for every image in order to recheck the hash
# Curl would need to tell us if the hash is different from the one on disk
# Curl would need to download the image in the background and not disrupt network play
# The texture system must be able to reload an individual texture from disk with out affecting the frame rate in a bad way.

Some of these challenges may already have solutions, some may need threading or other time management systems to implement properly.
