Option to ignore extension for comparison #1139

Feature Description ...

I've got two folders with a ton of duplicate images, but czkawka isn't seeing this because they have different extensions (.jpg, .jpeg).

App by default compare images with different extensions/size/names but it is possible to enable only certain extensions

I love the app and this is one of the features that I am missing a bit. I know that pictures can be compared like this, but it is a bit more time consuming. In the simple name comparison, there could be a check-box to ignore extensions (so IMG001.jpeg and IMG001.webp are treated as duplicates), or there could be a user provided list of extensions considered equal (e.g. .jpeg = .jpg; .m4a = .m4b = .mp4)

DupeGuru has the "ignore extension" mode (called "can mix file kind") and work fine

Example use case for ignore extension - I have many pictures converted from raw to jpeg, but not all are converted yet, so cant simply delete all raw files. I could use the compare picture, but it is slower and can lead to false positives (similar images get tagged as duplicates). Comparing just names is faster and only exact (name) matches are found.
