Subject: [PATCH] Exclude binary files from Sonar analysis (#33144)

* Exclude png files from Sonar analysis

They just cause errors

`11:39:29.466 WARN  Invalid character encountered in file /home/runner/work/element-web/element-web/apps/web/res/vector-icons/152.png at line 1 for encoding UTF-8. Please fix file content or configure the encoding to be used using property 'sonar.sourceEncoding'.`

* Modify sonar-project.properties for exclusions

Updated sonar.exclusions to include additional file types.
