flutter_cached_network_image Add option to invalidate Cache without clearing it.

When image changed with same url, the image widget doesn't download the new image. I don't want to clear the cache, because we want it to load the cache image first if the image is loading. It would be better if your add some options to refresh cache from remote location if needed, just like iOS SDK SDWebImage.

Have you found some workaround or do you have any plan to fix it ?

I am looking for something similar as well!

Found a workaround. At the moment I load the image with a non-functional unique parameter, so the image gets reloaded.

downloadURL+'?d='+DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch.toString()

PR #462 fixes the issue when you just want to load a new image. We could still add a method to invalidate the cache without clearing it, but I think we still need to completely evict it from the ImageCache.

This is a neat trick, but I feel like the library should be watching for cache invalidations and reload the image if it changes.
