Render WebP attachments as image by default

What does this MR do?

This MR adds the .webp file extension to the list of safe image extensions in the file type detection. It allows webp-images to be uploaded to issues and comments (via "Attach a file" or drag and drop) which then get embeded as images instead of attachments (see #296600 (closed)). It also allows uploading of designs in the webp format. WebP is supported in all browsers that GitLab supports except Safari <= macOS 10 (see caniuse, suppported browsers).
