Gitlab should provide support for viewing eps format figures

Description

Currently when clicking on an .eps file you see the text content of the eps file and not the actual image.

Use case:

When collaborating on GitLab often my collaborators will create .eps figures since this is the standard format for us. The only way to view these files are to either click download eps and open it locally or pull the latest changes and open it on my computer. Both of these ways makes viewing quite cumbersome especially if you are on a phone.

It would be very beneficial for workflow if we could view .eps figures on the fly in GitLab. (Include problem, use cases, benefits, and/or goals)

Proposal

Add .eps figure support in GitLab for our on the fly viewing experience
