Add more common media file formats to filter globs

Jeff Fortin requested to merge jfft/meld:more_media_file_filters into main

Fixes issue #841 (closed)

This does not include every image/video/audio file format out there, but covers at least the most commonly encountered ones in my experience.

I pondered if it could make sense to split the media filter into three filters (images, audio, video) but I presumed it would get hairy quickly and I didn't want to make an intrusive change.

This is not alphabetically-sorted, I tried to respect the apparent existing grouping between image vs audio vs video formats.

Based on my own experience, and:

As far as I understand it, Meld handles on-the-fly decompression of archive compression formats (ex: all the zip, lzma, 7z, xz, tarballs and variants, etc.), so it doesn't need a filter for those?
