Adds WebP animated export support. In my test of a tiny galaxy in 2350, the webp was 22% of the size of the gif:

WebP is a "new" image format, where animated WebPs are already well supported by the browsers ("only" since 2020 for Edge); and since 2016 for libwebp and 2017 for Pillow, although I put a feature check on the checkbox, just in case.
The export is slower than gif. The tuning options are explicitly set here to the defaults, for ease of changing if we want to. I added some logging to allow timing, example:
