[KPhotoAlbum] Another performance patch

[Robert Krawitz]

This adds some common sidecar file types (.xmp, .pp3, and .pto) to the
exclusion list for file searching.

I had been wondering why file searching had slowed down a lot for me
lately, with a lot of disk activity. strace made it clear. I store
sidecar files alongside the original image files, and over time,
something over 20,000 sidecar files had accumulated.

Do you stil have my other two performance patches related to loading
new images or do you need them again? One is generic and one is
specific to loading new images that need to be added to existing
stacks. They touch much the same code, so it might be worth my while
merging them into one.
