Improve UX when adding externally hosted image #51

Original issue: https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/issues/1429

When you add an image from the Photos app (or any other app that doesn't store the image locally), the image has to be downloaded before being inserted in the editor.

Currently we show a toast message that the image is downloading, which isn't so great. It'd be much better to animate in a progress bar view so that the user can view the download progress.

It also doesn't appear that there's any messaging if the download fails, which can cause confusion.

I tested this in the new editor (Nexus 9, Android 6.0.1, alpha-5) and it looks like we no longer show a toast message that the image is downloading, which is confusing and can cause problems.

I tested by adding a video from the Photos app (since a video takes longer to download) and the app freezes with no message to the user while the video is being downloaded. If you try to navigate in the app while the media is downloading, a dialog may appear with the message "WordPress isn't responding. Do you want to close it?" After the download finishes, the video icon will appear with the upload progress bar.
