Hash covers into sub-folders for large libraries.

[tdp4]

Idea Description

Currently I have 39GB of covers across 225,487 files in 9k series. These are all in one folder. Would it improve performance to have these files moved into smaller hashed folders?

As an example, just performing an ls (to /dev/null) gives the following results:

## In the covers folder
root@docker02:/local/kavita/covers# time ls >/dev/null

real    0m0.562s
user    0m0.269s
sys     0m0.289s

## In a much smaller folder... (parent directory)
root@docker02:/local/kavita# time ls >/dev/null

real    0m0.003s
user    0m0.003s
sys     0m0.000s
