previewed images are cached and only updated if atom is restarted

[oli-obk]

deleting or modifying images has no effect on whether they are rendered in the preview-tab.

closing and opening the preview tab has no effect. Atom needs to be restarted in order to refresh the images.

Made some tests. It seems like atom caches it itself.
I found a solution that reloads local files on each render, but that seems just plain wrong.
I will work on a solution that will work with changing local files.

There is atom/markdown-preview#207 that also records this issue. I've mocked up a candidate fix in #53 that exploits the # fragment identifier. Let me know your thoughts @leipert and I'm very happy if you want to reassign this to me :D

I wanted to basically do the same thing with the query parameter ?. My hack was:

src = src.concat "?v=#{Math.random()}"

Ah very kl, much more succinct. The issue I see with that is that that will force all images to refresh every time you re-render the preview, and with an image heavy source document you might end up with a lot of images not loading with the initial re-render and then popping in changing the length of the preview.
