[KPhotoAlbum] Proposal for a third type of "media"

[Robert Krawitz]

I would like to propose adding a third type of file (in addition to
images and videos): auxiliary files.  These are things like
RawTherapee or Darktable sidecar files, Hugin .pto files, and such
that are associated with images or videos.

My typical workflow is to shoot RAW+JPEG; I stack those two.  The
files I select I then process with rawtherapee (or darktable in low
noise situations, hopefully they'll fix their noise cleanup some time)
and save them as img_XXXX_c1.jpg or the like, which I have set up to
autostack.  But I'd also like to be able to add various sidecar files
to the stack, or otherwise store them in KPA.

Obviously, these files can't be displayed, but they would otherwise
be treated and managed like the other media files supported by KPA.
