Threaded HTML Parser should send preloads directly to the network thread

This would allow preloads to be started quicker in the case of javascript running on the main thread.

The catch is that we'd need to check the MemoryCache before sending out the preload.  Which would likely require a lock to allow access from the networking thread.  I would expect little contention for such a lock.

Others who are more familiar with the loader could speculate better I'm sure.

Should we have a meta bug for these sorts threaded parser improvements?
