File Explorer lets the user indicate which file extensions should be previewed as txt

[IvoMerchiers]

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

I often encounter files for which it would be very useful if they were rendered as .txt, even if their file extension is different. For example config (.conf), environment (.env) or other data structures such as .yml.

It would be very nice if I could define a list of file extensions that should be previewed as .txt. Some good default options might also be beneficial.

Some of these data structures would benefit from a dedicated implementation, but lacking that, just rendering the text would already be very helpful.

I think for most of the files you outlined, the Monaco render idea would solve it. #1527

we could have a settings page that then would handle this scenario. make .conf files render as json or something ....
