Linux thumbnailer support

Mathieu Westphal (Kitware) requested to merge ThumbnailerSupport into master

Add initial support for thumbnails in Linux file managers.

Based on this mechanism: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/File_manager_functionality#Use_PCManFM_to_get_thumbnails_for_other_file_types

Requires a manual update of the mime database as described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_MIME_Applications#New_MIME_types

Some extensions required specific mime-type stuff to work, not sure if this is correct: gml, 3ds, obj

This also modifies the behavior without --output to not render and fails when data cannot be loaded.
