Enhancement request for desktop-tool: Cache bust downloaded card images when image binary changes in Google Drive

Description

The desktop tool seems to skip downloading files when the local desktop-tool/cards/ directory contains an image with the same name / Google Drive ID. While this is a nice performance boost, it would be nice to be able to cache bust and trigger a re-download if the binary has changed remotely.

Steps to Reproduce

• As a proxy "creator", run the desktop-tool on an existing XML file containing a proxy you've created triggering a download to the desktop-tool/cards/ directory
• Upload a new version of the proxy to your Google Drive with the same name/location (it should prompt you to choose between "Replace existing file" or "Keep both files")
• Select "Replace existing file"
• Run update_database tool to re-index cards on your backend server
• Using your XML file in the mpcautofill.github.io tool should now show the newer version of your proxy
• Run the desktop-tool again and notice that the tool doesn't re-download the newer version of the proxy but instead uses the already downloaded version in desktop-tool/cards/ directory
