[D8] Image styles: add "Convert" effect/action #5107

This is something that D8/9 seem to support out of the box:

And they also support converting to the WebP format (if supported by the PHP version on the server):

I am definitely interested in this feature. I'd love for it to be in core -- originally was going to try to adjust the "change file format" effect in Image Effects module (which doesn't actually change the file extension, which is a bit strange).

And core Drupal image styles now have the conversion by default: https://www.drupal.org/node/3421405

In the meantime we have a bit of a kludgy workaround as linked above, but having this clean and in core would be ideal.

This feature may be blocked by this bug in Image Effects, which may be core related - https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/image_effects/issues/22 If the original image is in private folders then the conversion doesn't work; it silently fails while other effects are carried out.
