fix: thumbnail content-type, animated GIF preservation, and janitor cleanup

- Add extension-based mimetype fallback in uploads route so thumbnail
  files serve correct Content-Type (image/webp) instead of falling back
  to application/octet-stream when DB lookup misses
- Skip animated images (metadata.pages > 1) during thumbnail generation
  to preserve GIF/WebP animations instead of flattening to static frame
- Remove redundant explicit thumbnail deletion in storageJanitor since
  deleteUploadFile() already auto-deletes the thumbnail variant
