Try rasterizing images and layers only once, even when their rasterization...

Try rasterizing images and layers only once, even when their rasterization fails. Further enforce the same access threshold on layers as on Pictures. Previously layers would always be cached. The latter is a semantic change. (#16545)

If Rasterization fails, i.e. image.is_valid() is false, the cache might try rasterizing the image again on the next frame. Not only is this wasteful put might also prevent other pictures to be cached within the current frame budget.
