Add icon for "Render Result" type images

I’ve always found it odd that Render Results get mixed with other images in the Image Viewer. In my opinion, they can easily get lost and deserve more recognition... after all, renders are the ultimate result of our work! Currently, the only indicators that we’re looking at renders are their name (which can be changed) and the presence of “Slots.”

My suggested solution is to add an icon (TBD) where thumbnails appear, since they don’t seem to display thumbnails at the moment (as far as I know).

Current Proposal 1 (list + icons) Proposal 2 (boxes + icons) Proposal 3 (Empty separator)

IMO Render Result and Viewer Node should always stay on top of the list, separate by a separator line

I don't think Blender has line separators, but I guess we could use 2 boxes (open by default to separate them in two categories? I've updated my post with this. image
