Abdelrazak Younes 896cb74fe2 Optimize the graphics loader: don't put the image in the queue if it is directly loadable and no conversion is needed. No more temporary preview image, yeah!

*
* The graphics cache is a container of graphics::CacheItems.
* Each graphics::CacheItem, defined here represents a separate image file.
*
* The routines here can be used to load the graphics file into memory at
* which point (status() == graphics::Loaded).
* The user is then free to access image() in order to copy it and to then
* transform the copy (rotate, scale, clip) and to generate the pixmap.
*
* The graphics cache supports fully asynchronous:
* file conversion to a loadable format;
* file loading.
*
* Whether you get that, of course, depends on graphics::Converter and
* on the graphics::Image-derived image class.
