DragonByte WebP - Adds WebP support for XenForo Image Uploader and image processing libraries.

Description
Adds WebP support to your XenForo 2.2 forum, including the Image Uploader and GD/Imagick image processing libraries. 3rd party add-ons can then allow WebP images to be uploaded, and they'll process normally.

Uses
By adding WebP support, your 3rd party addons can implement .webp uploads to enable better quality images with a smaller file size.

Suggestions

  • Extend XF\Service\User\Avatar and XF\Service\User\ProfileBanner to allow WebP to be used for those images
  • Extend XF\App\Data\FileTypes::getExtensionMap() to set the correct file type / FA icon
  • Extend app container inlineImageTypes
  • Probably add https://github.com/chase-moskal/webp-hero as a fallback for browsers that do not support WebP
  • Add an option to autmatically convert uploaded images to WebP (probably not animated GIFs (if GD is used))
  • Add a job + Cli command to convert existing images to WebP

The first three are fine, the last three not so much. I’m definitely not going through the hassle of converting existing images for a free add-on 😛
 
It'd be great if this would allow webp files to be uploaded in XF Cloud's File Manager system. I'm having to host my webp files on a separate image hosting site right now, which is fine but I'd ideally be able to use the XF Cloud server space I'm paying for. I'm told by XF support that File Manager will begin accepting webp files once 2.3 is released and the XF Cloud accounts get updated.
