Our thumbs are already created on demand, based on the image width
specified in the URL. Example for a 40px wide thumb:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d9/Collage_of_Nine_Dogs.jpg/40px-Collage_of_Nine_Dogs.jpg


The corresponding Parsoid HTML contains the original height & width in data
attributes:

<img resource="./File:Collage_of_Nine_Dogs.jpg" src="//
upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d9/Collage_of_Nine_Dogs.jpg/260px-Collage_of_Nine_Dogs.jpg"
data-file-width="1665" data-file-height="1463" data-file-type="bitmap"
height="228" width="260">

Based on this information, it shouldn't be too hard to calculate 1.5x / 2x
resolution thumb urls with a combination of multiplication & rounding.

Isn't the srcset using a limited set of resolution factors?
