Add Remote image media support to Web Assets
### Problem/Motivation
Web Assets gives editors a complete media library for local files (Image, Audio, Video, Document) and remote streams (Remote
audio, Remote video) — but there is no equivalent for remote images. Today editors who want to reference an image hosted on
Flickr, GIPHY or Getty Images either upload a local copy or hand-build a custom media type. This issue closes that gap so the
"remote" trio is complete.
### Proposed resolution
Add the contributed module Media Remote Image as a dependency
and let the Web Assets install recipe enable it and create the Remote image bundle automatically.
Why this module (not the alternative)
