Godot: Improve image loading performance in the asset library
Godot version: Git https://github.com/godotengine/godot/commit/791d7f78b52f5b828aa5541897e12c6a1861ef6f
OS/device including version: Fedora 30
Issue description: Currently, icons in the editor asset library load quite slowly, despite their small size. In comparison, they load much faster on the web interface (on the same PC and connection, that is). Maybe this is due to suboptimal use of HTTPClient?
Steps to reproduce: Open the asset library in the project manager or editor.

One problem is that only two images can be downloaded at the same time.
Browsers nowadays allow to download around 10 images simultaneously from the same domain and even more if they are from different sources.
Another problem is that the every request opens and closes the connection to the server, even if it's the same. There should be a way to group all the requests together and tell them to keep alive the connections till the whole page is loaded.
