 We've had the `srcset` and `sizes` attributes for quite some time and they
 seem to work quite well.

 One problem is that we don't have a 2x images for the built-in `large`
 size. Currently when displaying images larger than 512 px on the front-end
 on devices with high pixel density screens, the browser has only one
 choice: to output the full size/original image. These images are often as
 large as 6000px x 4000px and 4MB or even larger.

 To fix this and not output needlessly large images we need a new size that
 should be 2x the current "large" size, max 2048px width or height.
