feat: enhance thumbnail generation

[alexknop]

Related Issues

• No logged issue, but I keep my photo albums in Owncloud and noticed that many thumbnails stop showing on large albums and performance is very slow. Usually a thumbnail is loading one at a time and can take 2 seconds per thumbnail

Solution:

• Increase thumbnail cache disk from 10 MB to 250 MB
• Migrated thumbnail loading from AsyncTask to Coil
• Caching ImageLoader instead of creating a new one on every request

App:

• Add changelog files for the fixed issues in folder changelog/unreleased. More info here
• Add feature to Release Notes in ReleaseNotesViewModel.kt creating a new ReleaseNote() with String resources (if required)

hi @alexknop!! thanks for your contribution. We'll check it as soon as posible.

Some inputs about, in order to put the code in shape:

• Review the commit naming, it does not pass the conventional commits validation CI check

• The static code analyzer CI check is also red. This is the message: ThumbnailsRequester.kt:118:1: Line detected, which is longer than the defined maximum line length in the code style. [MaxLineLength] . Please wrap the line.

• Calens file lacks of endline and description. A quick review will be appreciated ;)

@jesmrec This is done. I was a bit confused on the two AccountUtils files but believe I referenced the correct one in the ThumbnailRequester file.

Cool @alexknop!! as in #4943, i'd suggest to compact the calens file. Again, my suggestion:

Enhancement: Thumbnail caching

Thumbnail caching system has been improved for a better experience and performance.

Calens file is intended to be a quick entry, not a complete description of the work. For that aim, the issue/PR is the best option. Changelog should be read at a glance.

Thanks again for your engagement!

@jesmrec done, thank you for your feedback. I'll get the hang of these things eventually...

The same note as on the other PR: all commits must be GPG/PGP signed and include a Signed-off-by line. Use the command: git commit -s -S -m "..." for that. Once it's done, I will start with the CR. Thanks @alexknop ! 🍻
