SVG seems to have the same need for responsive images as HTML does,
and HTML now has a solution - the srcset/sizes attributes on <img>,
and the <picture>/<source> elements for more complicated
source-switching.

Any objections to making this work in SVG as well?  We could just add
srcset/sizes directly to <image> without any problem, and
<picture>/<source> would just be more elements on the pile of "reasons
HTML needs to work inside of SVG".
