bug#57961: 29.0.50; [PATCH] image-dired thumbnail generation fails for PDFs on macOS

[Daniel Martín]

I tried the new PDF thumbnail generation feature in image-dired and I
got the following error in the macOS console, and the thumbnails are
blank:

CoreGraphics PDF has logged an error. Set environment variable
"CG_PDF_VERBOSE" to learn more

The reason seems to be that the thumbnails are actually JPG files, but
they are created with PDF extension, so the image loading code in the NS
port sees the extension and tries to search for a %PDF marker in the
file, which always fails.

I've created this patch so that PDF thumbnails get the correct JPG or
PNG extension.  That fixes the problem on macOS, at least.

Any ideas if the logic is correct and makes sense?  Thanks.
