Need a reliable Cache Refreshing mechanism.

Hi @ChrisChV This is by far one of the most efficient plugins to manage Firebase/Google storage images.

But we need a better and reliable cache Refreshing mechanism.

Consider the scenario : I have an image profile_pic.png which is cached on my app. Now if i replace this image directly in firebase/google storage by uploading a new version of this image from the Firebase/google Web UI - it doesn't rebuild the image cache on the app (i.e. - My App will still have the old version of the image).

To address this https://pub.dev/packages/firebase_image uses a very simple, efficient and cost effective mechanism. Basically to store metadata of the image and then comparing the metadata of the image as a Class B operation if enabled.

I strongly suggest we implement such mechanism as an optional parameter.
