[PictureLoader] Serve cached pictures from the disk cache instead of re-fetching them

With picture downloads enabled, requests were issued with AlwaysNetwork
cache control, which per Qt never consults the disk cache. A picture that
had already been downloaded was therefore fetched from the network again
on every session start, with the queue bypass letting those re-fetches
skip the rate limit entirely.

Treat the network cache as the intent of the 'Network Cache' storage
method suggests: if the URL is already cached, serve it with AlwaysCache
(no network, no quota); only a genuine miss goes to the network, and only
when downloads are enabled. Cache hits skip the queue for free since they
never consume the per-second request allowance.
