albumartcache: Limit concurrent lookups

The current AlbumArtCache implementation does not keep track
of the number of concurrent lookups that are being executed.

When dealing with a small number of items this is acceptable,
but once the number of music items grow, this poses a big
problem. In fact, the biggest bottleneck for when Music is
loading is caused by the thousands of lookups finishing almost
at the same time and overloading GTK+ machinery.

Fix that by introducing a limit to the number of concurrent
lookups being executed. When the limit is hit, the lookups
are queued and executed once a new lookup slot is available.

Notice that downloads are not considered lookups, and file
loading is done in parallel to cover fetching.
