Implement AVIF image support

[JackieChun]

There was another suggestion from 2 years ago that was closed for lack of interest, included below for reference.

Now that all browsers and OS's have implemented AVIF support, and both Google and Apple have thrown their weight behind it, it should be considered for XenForo. Site loading times and performance would be improved, especially for styles that use JPEG or PNG backgrounds.

Lack of interest - Are we gonna see support for AVIF?

As the title says, are wee gonna see compatibility for AVIF image files for xenforo

xenforo.com

I'm encountering this issue at least few times weekly. "Image file type is invalid".

Thus we are entering into the same rabbit hole as was with the support of WebP.

Just add it instead of debating about it with your users for years.
