Do not query all available image plugins when determining background type
In order to determine whether the wallpaper is animated or not,
MediaProxy::determineBackgroundType uses the following algorithm:
if
(QMovie::supportedFormats().contains(QFileInfo(filePath).suffix().toLower().toLatin1()))
{
This enumerates all image types that support animations, then
checks whether the one we care about is contained in the list.
Unfortunately, to check which image types support animations,
QMovie::supportedFormats() needs to instantiate each and every image
reader plugin that is available and ask it whether it supports
animations.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
We have caught this in Fedora by accident, because we ran into a bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2144200
where Chromium and PDFium would fail to load on Apple hardware using
"Apple Silicon" ARM CPUs. This surprisingly lead to the whole Plasma
shell failing to start because the QImage PDF reader would crash
during initialization, crashing the entire shell along with it.
Since image reader plugins can generally be of varying quality, it
would be much safer to avoid instantiating less tested exotic plugins
when we do not actually need them.
A crash in PDFium can crash the entire Plasma Shell, turning QtPdf
into a critical package.
Instead of enumerating all image formats that support animation using
QMovie::supportedFormats(), the better way would be to do what
QMovie::supportedFormats() does internally, but only on the type we
actually care about, without enumerating them.
