Narrative

As a user with an old computer or slow connection, I can be warned that Media Viewer will not work well on my device, so that I have the option to disable it.

Acceptance Criteria

Detect if the user has a really slow connection (e.g. long load times several days in a row)
Detect if the user has a really old computer
If either of these conditions are met, show a popup warning (e.g.: 'Media Viewer may not work well for this device. Would you like to disable it?')
If the user clicks on 'Yes', scroll down to the bottom of the metadata panel, so they can see how to disable or re-enable it (see separate tickets #703 and #704 )

This seems overcomplicated. We should just

check if the image took longer than X seconds to load
show a popup if it did
disable if the user clicks 'Yes'
show some text about how to reenable (see #721 )

One question: If MediaViewer is faster than the file page, which benefit are we intending to provide to users with a slow connection with the disablement?

when Media Viewer takes too long, for me it makes more sense to offer the possibility to skip it rather than disabling it. If we want the user to access the file page, the tooltip can appear from the Commons icon, if we want to allow the user to access the file directly, the tooltip can appear from that control: "It is taking some time. you can directly access the file here."
