Implement next/previous photo preloading
Description
Implement preloading of the next/previous photo when viewing a photos modal window. This should just be a background request to load the image src, which will browser cache it and result in next/previous usage being instant instead of waiting for a load.

Maybe able to improve this further by just preloading the image src the same time the modal window is loaded (2 HTTP requests at once) so the image src doesn't have to load AFTER the modal is completely done loading.

All photo modal windows will preload their photos at same time as modal load request. These a separate requests done at same time allowing the image to effectively load while the modal it self is loading. This significantly reduces the delay seen when loading larger photos.
