    Work around an issue with changing the wallpaper's filetype · 8f4ea0a9

    Summary:
    Because of the issue described in T12611, changing the filetype of the Next wallpaper is
    problematic and will cause a black screen on upgrade.
    
    This terrible horrible patch works around the issue by using the .png filename extension
    even though this is not accurate. That way, the file names are the same as the old
    versions of the Next wallpaper and will be loaded correctly. Using the wrong filename
    extension does not actually cause any problems, it's just inaccurate. a `README` file is
    placed next to the images to explain this.
    
    I'm sorry.
    
    Long-term, we should investigate T12611.
    
    Test Plan:
    Have previous Next wallpaper (Ice Cold) installed
    Replace it on disk with Volna in original JPEG form
    restart plasmashell -> black screen
    
    Try the above again with this patch
    restart plasmashell -> new wallpaper visible
