Updated CLAUDE.md to reflect performance optimizations.

Updated documentation to reflect recent changes:
- Changed image detection from MIME-type to extension-based
- Added Performance Optimizations section explaining the change
- Updated Code Patterns to use is_image_file() instead of filetype
- Marked filetype as legacy dependency (no longer actively used)

+**Extension-based image filtering** (viewer/utils.py:17-27):
+- Uses `is_image_file()` helper that checks file extensions instead of reading file contents
+- Supported extensions defined in `IMAGE_EXTENSIONS` constant
+- Eliminates ~99% of I/O operations when listing directories
+- Significantly faster than MIME-type detection for large directories
