Slideshow was not showing because it is a bit different than other panes it shows when there is a container with more than one image. It also appeared after the folder pane in the register pane list so it was rendering the folder view instead.

Code improvements were made as well to use solid logic where possible instead of recreating the same functions.

A few slideshow improvements.

• Added image detection based on both RDF metadata and HTTP Content-Type headers, allowing image containers to be recognized more reliably.
• Added deterministic image ordering by resource URI.
• Added duplicate-image filtering so the same resource is only displayed once.
• Added unique slideshow IDs so multiple slideshow instances do not conflict.
• Added authenticated image loading through the Solid store fetcher.

What changed in this PR

This PR updates slideshow rendering and its integration with pane selection and navigation.

Changes:

• Recognizes images by content type, deduplicates and sorts resources, and initializes each slideshow independently.
• Moves slideshow registration ahead of folders and uses the shared preferred-pane selector.
• Hides slideshow headers in solo mode and updates navigation tests and pane-selection mocks.
