Description

@epheterson

Describe what problem this solves and why this would be valuable to many users
A fair amount of users backup photos with the iCloudPD docker package, which downloads Live Photos by default. The format used by iCloudPD does not automatically generate Live Photos within PhotoPrism. The issue is similar to #1885, though with a different naming scheme, and can be worked around in the same way by enabling Sequential Names for stacking.

Example filenames –
IMG_0108_HEVC.MOV
IMG_0108.HEIC

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally PhotoPrism could notice the same image number with unique filetypes and the "_HEVC" appended to automatically create a Live Photo without having to first enable the Sequential Names stacks feature.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatively we can keep things as-is and expect users to discover the feature. Unfortunately even a complete re-index does not stack the photos so it can lead to some data loss to purge/re-index to fix.
