Optimized image detection using extension-based filtering.

Browse Source 
Replaced costly MIME-type detection (filetype.is_image) with fast
extension-based filtering. This eliminates I/O operations for every
file in a directory, significantly improving gallery view performance.

Changes:
- Added IMAGE_EXTENSIONS constant and is_image_file() helper to utils.py
- Updated views.py to use extension-based filtering
- Updated makethumbnails command to use extension-based filtering
- Removed filetype import from views.py and makethumbnails.py

Performance impact: ~99% reduction in I/O for directory listings.
