Asynchronous Image Loader for Unity

ImageConversion.LoadImage and Texture2D.LoadImage are slow when loading large images (greater than 2K) at runtime.
This package aims to offload image loading, image decoding and mipmap generation to other threads. It creates smoother gameplay and reduces lag spike on the Unity main thread when loading large images.
