Description:
Resource Loader should keep track of resources it already has loaded to prevent endless server requests, browser crashes, freezing sites etc.

Simple example:

[http://kamelopedia.mormo.org/index.php?title=Kamel:Nachteule/vector.js&oldid=442686]

The page ("Kamel:Nachteule/vector.js") imports itself using mw.load

Result: endless server reqests, page loading doesn't stop, browser crashes and/or browser becomes unresponsive ...

Sure, this example ist stupid, but on complex sites, recursive loading of things could happen.

In general it would be better if resource loader is aware of resources it aleady has loaded, so when the same resource is referenced more than once (through transclusion or other circumstances it will be ignored).

Sorry for my poor english ;)
