Fix T87621: Win32 Do Not Create Preview Thumbnails for Offline Files

This patch turns off the creation of file thumbnails for files that are
offline and therefore not fully-present on the file system. These types
of files - typically cloud-based or stored on slower backup media -
only have their contents available when actually accessed, at which
point there will be a short delay. If we allow thumbnail creation in
this state then all offline files in a folder will be downloaded just
to view a listing, which can take a long time.

Files in this state will instead get a more generic thumbnail that
still indicates file type (icon in center) and that shows offline state
will a special icon at the bottom-left.

Although this currently only affects Windows users, most of this patch
is platform-agnostic. So other platforms inherit this behavior if they
only add FILE_ATTR_OFFLINE attribute to files in this state.

See D11101 for more information.
