FFImageLoading 2.2.14

Complete history of changes available here: v2.2.13...v2.2.14

Xamarin.Forms - Important

FFImageLoading has a regression since 2.2.4 which caused CachedImage to always to fill entire space available (different behaviour than Image. It's now fixed, but as it was included in many versions it may be a breaking change for some. That's why I didn't enable that fix by default. You can do it manually with:

CachedImage.FixedOnMeasureBehavior = true;

I'll include it as a default in next major version.
