Add documentation about image types

[nielsvanvelzen]

Jellyfin has a lot of image types:

• Primary
• Art
• Backdrop
• Banner
• Box
• BoxRear
• Disc
• Logo
• Menu
• Screenshot
• Thumb

Some of those I know of what they are meant for; primary is the cover, logo is as it says a logo. However, for most I still have no idea where they are used and what aspect ratio is required. Recommended resolution would also be nice.

My suggestion here is to create a new page in the documentation explaining all those different image types with their use case and optimal aspect ratio / resolution.

Need this info asap myself currently, and it would surely make sense and be fully necessary for the documentation.

We've recently discussed image sizes in this discussion too: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-meta/issues/12#issuecomment-759373678
