This is a simple PR to try and minimize the number of Bing transactions and ion Bing sessions over the course of a page. While we can't cache Bing metadata or ion endpoints across sessions, this type of basic caching is allowed and should dramatically reduce use for certain use cases.
BingMapsImageryProvider now keeps a local cache of metadata for a given url/style. This means destroying and recreating instances multiple times still only uses a single transaction.
IonImageryProvider now caches endpoint requests. This means that creating multiple IonImageryProviders for the same Bing asset will only use a single Bing session.
While use cases like Sandcastle, which uses an iframe, won't benefit at all from this change, applications that switch base layers often or destroy/recreate the viewer as part of a SPA will see dramatic improvement.
I'm open to other ideas to help reduce Bing transactions here, but obviously we need to stay withing the ToS for both Bing Maps and ion. If anyone has any thoughts, let me know.
