#1116: Site Cloner: Prime mShots cache

The plugin uses the mShots service to generate the site screenshots, but
those are built asynchronously when the first request is received, and
then cached for 24 hours.
Because of that, users will see the default `Generating screenshot...`
image instead of the actual screenshot. To avoid that, we should have a
network-wide cron job that makes non-blocking HTTP requests for each of
the images every 23 hours, so that they're always available when a user
needs them.
It should sleep for ~2000 milliseconds between each request to be polite,
or maybe process them in small batches.
