FEATURE: Add way to automatically resize/optimize photos

[KyleAMathews]

When copying assets to the public folder, optimize images.

Perhaps use this https://github.com/tcoopman/image-webpack-loader

I actually have this on my to-do list but after some consideration and poking around, I realized webpack configuration would be a round-about way to do it.

Images aren't imported as modules when they're inlined in markdown so webpack doesn't really see them. I'm thinking a markdown-it plugin may be the easiest way.

@pamo yeah the image optimization only happens if you require an image which is only a sub-set of the images you have on your site and wouldn't include images that are part of a blog like yours.

I'd like something where I could drop and image in a folder and when copying it'd to /public it'd resize + optimize the photo size.

I'll change the title to make more clear what this issue is about.

That'd be the best solution. My google-fu was waning yesterday but I'm sure there's something that is capable of it.

Probably this isn't something that should be built into gatsby but that
gatsby provides the hooks to build this in user land.
