Allow selecting animated GIFs as live wallpapers

Browse Source 
The playback pipeline already typefinds by content and decodes GIFs
via GStreamer's decodebin like any other video, but the preferences
file picker filtered to video/* MIME types only, hiding .gif files.
Widen the filter to include image/gif and *.gif, add an "All files"
fallback, and update the related copy/docs to mention GIF support.
