iOS thumbnails: use partial 512KB read for faster thumbnail generation

Add pull-thumb command to helper script that uses afc.fread() to read
only the first 512KB of each photo. EXIF thumbnails are in the first
few KB so sips can generate a resized thumbnail from the partial file.
Falls back to full afc.pull() if fread is unavailable.

IosConnector.pullToFile() uses pull-thumb for thumbnail requests.
Full afc.pull() still used for actual photo import.
