Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No

Describe the solution you'd like Adding WaifuXL model inside waifu2x extension gui

Describe alternatives you've considered Well, its just that WaifuXL works much better than any model on waifu2x extension gui, so the alternative is just using the other models

Additional context I found out recently about this new model, WaifuXL, this is a Real-ESRGAN model trained on anime images, to be more precise, as the official github page says (where the model is, and yes, is open source) "For our super resolution network we are using the state-of-the-art Real-ESRGAN and for our image tagging network we are using a MobileNetV3. Both were trained on a subset of Danbooru2021." So, i did some tests myself and.. i can say that WaifuXL outperforms all the models inside (as of now) Waifu2x-Extension-GUI here are some examples on a photo completely custom: image image WaifuXL has sort of better "fine-detailing" compared to the standard RealESRGAN-NCNN-Vulkan, so, adding it is up to you
