Redesign ExecutableFileOpenDialog

Kai Uwe Broulik requested to merge work/kbroulik/open-or-exec-redesign into master

The "Open" vs "Execute" can be hard to grasp in certain languages. Add the name and icon of the application that will open it to make it clearer what will run it and what will just launch an app to view it.

Also show the file icon, name, and type to make a more informed decision.

While at it, turn it into a UI file.

I always had a hard time picking the right choice. Now it’s a lot clearer and nicer.

There’s an alternative proposal for horizontally centered file details. I don’t mind either way but left-aligned is much more consistent with our other dialogs, like message boxes:

Since 6.14 is already very close, this targets 6.15
