Serve nest placeholder image from disk rather than generate on the fly (#58663)

* Serve placeholder image from disk rather than generate on the flay

The placeholder image was generated from hoome assistant, saved, flipped, and
crushed a bit. The image is 640x480 and the integration does not support any on the
fly resizing.

* Cache Nest WebRTC placeholder image on camera

Cache Nest WebRTC placeholder image rather than reading from disk every time.
