[gnome-music/wip/mschraal/albumview-covers-on-demand-3-34: 1/2] albumsview: Load covers on demand

[Marinus Schraal <mschraal src gnome org>]

commit ca900f30739ce043a415a65831303bac1e019fc7

    albumsview: Load covers on demand
    
    Loading all covers on startup is a very demanding task, especially on a
    fresh install. Previously Music was using a delayed loading hack, but it
    was still resource intensive and suboptimal.
    
    Load covers on demand instead.
    
    Closes #250
