Pywikibot: Replace hard coded list of extensions in checkimages.py with site defined list
See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120080 for more information!
https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/blob/d616db5/scripts/checkimages.py#L1480 defined notallowed as ("xcf", "xls", "sxw", "sxi", "sxc", "sxd").
Instead of using this hard coded list, the list of allowed extensions provided by the server should be used. See https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=fileextensions for the server provided list.
