duplicates in settings

In Dolphin settings -> Interface -> Previews, a lot of duplicates were added
with this latest release. (Also, it seems that some of my previous preferences
were not respected after upgrading, but I am not so sure about that, so I will
just focus my report on the duplicates.)

There are too many settings related to images. I think a separate category
should be made there to customize what types of image extensions should have
previews or not, if the KDE team wants to keep such customization.

However, I personally feel this level of customization is not necessary. I
don't think there's too much usefulness in, for example, having previews for
WebP, but not for PNG. The toggle of "Images" in general including many types
is the right thing to do IMO.

I would propose to rename it to:

"General images (formats here, separated by comma, with the penultimate having
an 'and' after it)"

Formats I would suggest to be grouped: AVIF, PNG, BMP, WEBP, SVG, Microsoft
Windows Images (not sure which format is this one), JPEG, JPEG XL.

I think EXR and RAW formats can be kept separate as I see they can be useful in
some niche situations.

For GIF I would also suggest to make it separate from "General images" for
accessibility purposes.


That is all, thanks for your attention.
