Not duplicated, they are bypassed!
It is like HText_pageDispaly() calls used for partial mode.
Now it is HTreparse_document() used in a small "refresh_screen" mainloop cycle
when possible, instead of big "force_load" mainloop/getfile cyrcle.

We also can use this function at nearly any stage of the 'big' cycle,
preferrably in HTLoadDocument(), along with checking
around LY_force_no_cache and LY_override_no_cache, and acting on
the exit from HTLoadHTTP() for certain status codes (perhaps "Not Modified"?).

And I already use it in getfile/postoptions 'middle' cycle.
This probably not very logical but there are only a few instances
so easily maintained.
