Public bug reported:

OS: Windows 10
Hugin 2021.0.0.52df0f76c700, standalone lens calibration GUI run via start menu shortcut from installer.

On the lens calibration GUI, if an image is removed (with "remove"
button) then re-added with the "add" button, a cached copy of the image
seems to be loaded, rather than the image file being reloaded.

This prevents images from being edited externally then reloaded, because
re-adding the removed image adds the old copy, not the new modified
file. The workaround is to either rename the image file before re-
adding, or restart the lens calibration GUI.

Steps:
1. Add an image
2. Edit the image with an external program and save it
3. Remove the image (this and previous step can be swapped)
4. Add the image again

Expected:
Edited image is loaded into lens calibration GUI

Actual:
Old image is loaded into lens calibration GUI

Note: I am not sure what the purpose is of caching the images at all.
It's not really a performance issue in the calibration GUI.

- It's not really a performance issue in the calibration GUI and also
- generally speaking software caching is rather redundant to OS level file
- access caching anyways.
