The 'shared-mime-info' package does not recognize the mimetype "image/avif" so I have added it in /usr/share/mime/packages/avif.xml
Image viewers such as Viewnior rely on gdkpixbuf plugins, and I
have added 'libavif-gdk-pixbuf' package builtin.
mtPaint does not recognize avif images, Gimp does. Right-click on
a .avif image and Gimp will be offered to open it. Left-click and
it will open in Viewnior.
