goose feat: check file type with validation

This feature adds a check to make sure the selected file is of type text and not binary. If the user selects a filetype thats not allowed, a system modal shows an error.

@alexhancock @lily-de - I wonder if this is restrictive in the sense that the wrong file sent to goose does give back some feedback on why it might not work. I noticed that for .docx or so - it suggests using a text extractor. Thoughts on whether goose should make a reasonable attempt or it's up to the user?

@nahiyankhan i think if goose can reliably do it for docx it can try! sounds cool. does it start like programming something lol? i think that will freak non-devs out a bit 👻

It doesn't attempt by default - but does suggest options and whether I want to try them! I'll file it under future consideration for now

Also, just added in image processing as part of the developer extension so image files should generally work now too.
