ffmpegthumbnailer/gstreamer should be added to tumbler

Full log
View this message in rfc822 format
When using tumbler with the thunar file manager to generate thumbnails,
tumblerd fails and just leaves empty files in /tmp. Inspecting the log with
dbus-monitor --session --monitor
interface=org.freedesktop.thumbnails.Thumbnailer1
yields "No thumbnailer available for "file:///foo/bar/baz.mkv"", in this
case for mkv files. Making ffmpegthumbnailer available to tumbler
apparently fixes this. I'm not entirely sure if it should be made a hard
dependency, because in theory users can freely pick the backends and at
a later time others might become available.
I stumbled upon https://issues.guix.gnu.org/37276 where gstreamer has
been removed and I don't understand why it's been done. The message only
mentions "https://issues.guix.gnu.org/37276", but as I understand it
gstreamer was very much necessary because without an appropriate backend
tumbler won't show thumbnails...
