Allow tracking images added by URL from the file system

Problem/Motivation

Image files are tracked using data-entity-uuid and data-entity-type attributes, and those are only assigned when the file entity is saved, which only happens after uploading the image. However if we include an image using the URL text input, the file is not saved neither received values for uuid and type, so it is not tracked, even if that image is in the file system.

Also, not having data-entity-uuid and data-entity-type attributes makes the image unable to be edited using the drupalimage plugin button.

Proposed resolution

Save images added by URL from the file system as entities, assigning uuid and type in order to be tracked and to be able to be edited.
