[Feature] Show matching icons based on the file type

[UnlimitedCookies]

Hi! It would make it much easier to be able to visually identify and distinguish files according to their file type. The current icon looks a little dull (and boring) imo.

This should cover various file types. e.g. images should have an image icon and so on..

This is how it currently looks like:

Here there should be a little icon for .go and a shell scrip icon for the .sh file respectively.

It would be really great if this icon pack (https://github.com/vscode-icons/vscode-icons) for VSCode would be an option.

I think we can do it by update gitMaster which has support it in gh

@SuperSandro2000 I would actually prefer something flat e. g.: https://github.com/PKief/vscode-material-icon-theme

Maybe we should choose something even more minimal.

I already use GitHub Refined and they have overlapping feature sets which could cause issues.

I have no experience with go but I quickly made a vue component using file-icons-js.

That is propably not the best solution since there is a delay between rendering the page and rendering the icons. I guess that's because of the way the template engine works.

The best solution would be to write a wrapper for file-icons in go, but that would be a lot of work.

Anyways, here is my attempt: https://github.com/hendrikbl/gitea/commit/feb273fbb817f4e156dd1ff8f5eb36b120ba8680

Perhaps allowing us to specify icons such as by /icons/theme/extension, et cetera. Some people might like official icons per file-type, some might like to use other public themes such as Papirus (I'd recommended as an alternative). Edit: At the very least, icons for files that are particularly useful for Git/Gitea, such as .md, images, common document types (odt, txt, et cetera), git files...

Two PRs have been opened to implement this and were rejected. I think it's safe to say this proposal is rejected. For anyone that wants this, https://github.com/Claudiohbsantos/github-material-icons-extension looks nice
