Updated

* Updated path resolving for upload folder option.
This SHOULD now allow using an absolute path, even those outside of
the lolisafe installation.

* Added a config option at uploads -> generateThumbs, named placeholder.
It's a string option that lets you set path of the placeholder image
for files whose thumbnail could not be generated.
It defaults to the old hard-coded path when set to falsy value.

* Fixed thumbs script not using upload folder from config file.

* Added filters for thumb generation error handling.
This is used to ignore some common error messages,
such as file formats not being supported.
