TOOLS/lua/autoload: may specify loading only one type of files

Under the current file loading logic, a video file and an external
audio track next to it will both be added to the playlist, which
most users don't wish to happen. Having an option that tells the
script to load only one type of files (video, audio, or image)
can avoid this problem. It may also come in handy for people who
have different types of files mixed in a folder but wish to consume
only one type of media at a time.
