Support HEIF images via conversion #635

Open raphaelcastaneda opened 1 year ago

Whatsapp itself doesn't support image/heic as an image attachment (they can be sent as documents however). The first-party app converts heic to jpeg before attaching.

Since the whatsapp bridge already supports other types of media conversion, and a golang heic decoder exists, it should be fairly straightforward to add this capability here as well.

I've opened a PR #636 with a quick implementation of this.
