I think it would make sense in eww buffers, too...  probably.  If there
are buffers where this shouldn't happen, we can add a mechanism for
that, though.

I think just altering the :scale image attribute would probably do the
trick...  but we can't destructively modify the image objects, I guess,
so re-inserting them is probably necessary...
