To allow lazy-loading of any image, add an API method swapInDataSrc that will copy the value from img-tag attribute data-src into src. This allows using a tiny placeholder image in the src, while still allowing preloading of the next image for easy transitions. Note that this is convention-driven to expect markup like <img src="placeholder.jpg" data-src="realimage.png" />. Any later DOM manipulation will work just fine because we pull the data-src attribute (and delete it) once. We could add the ability to specify the swapping attributes and such, but meh.
