Feature Request: Add support for reading and writing WebP (.webp) images

Why do you want this?

It's an emerging web-directed image format made by Google, and it's apparently better than PNGs.

Also, QT supports it, but we all know JUCE > QT.

I've created a pull request implementing support for decoding and encoding WEBP image format.
