Live Wallpaper page gains a "Wallpaper Folders" list (mirroring the
static rotation one) plus an "Available Media" list of the videos/GIFs
found inside them to pick from, backed by a new live-wallpaper-folders
GSettings key and a generalized wallpaperSource.js extension scan.
The preferences page-switcher icons (General, Rotation, Live Wallpaper,
OLED Protection, About) were showing as broken-image placeholders since
they depended on exact symbolic icon names being present in the user's
system icon theme. Bundle a small set of custom SVG icons under icons/
and register them via Gtk.IconTheme.add_search_path so they always
resolve regardless of the system theme.
The extension's own log showed rotation kept firing ("Wallpaper
changed to ...") after live wallpaper playback had already started.
Each rotation change writes org.gnome.desktop.background's
picture-uri, which makes GNOME Shell repaint its own background actor
into the same _backgroundGroup our live wallpaper actor lives in,
landing on top of it and hiding the video/GIF entirely.
LiveWallpaperManager now takes an onActiveChanged callback, invoked
only on actual start/stop transitions, which extension.js uses to
suspend/unsuspend RotationManager. This is tracked separately from
user-initiated pause()/resume() so turning live wallpaper off restores
whatever rotation state the user actually had, and next()/previous()
now no-op while suspended so manual/forced-OLED wallpaper changes
can't sneak one in either. The indicator's "Next Wallpaper" item is
greyed out to match.

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.
