This PR updated webui to v2.4.7 introduces a simple optimization: preloads the root CID after IPFS Client start to speed up the first time Web UI is opened. This is a best-effort version of #682 that respects user bandwidth and does not fetch entire Web UI when extension starts.

If embedded js-ipfs is used (eg. in Brave #716) it will trigger a remote (always recursive) preload of entire DAG to one of preload nodes. This way when embedded node wants to load resources related to webui it will get them fast from preload nodes.
