HEIC support missing on latest flathub build

[jhaiduce]

Describe the bug/issue

The latest build available on Flathub is missing HEIC support. I'm guessing it was not compiled in.

To Reproduce

1. Try to import from a folder containing HEIC images

or:

1. Try to open a previously imported HEIC file in Darkroom

Expected behavior
HEIC files should be listed in the import dialog, and should open in Darkroom

Which commit introduced the error

Flathub commit e373797d97926cd07de79dc754788a188ef6bd736dc7198c7b464487bf9f45de

Additional context

Originally reported on the Darktable github as darktable-org/darktable#14120

I don't see a specific commit in our repo that drops support, we updated libavif. Maybe it was dropped from one of the dependencies like the freedesktop base package?

If this is Fedora specific, it can't happen as HEIC as a non-free, patent encumbered format, so libheif is not available for Fedora.

Otherwise, it could be because libheif requirement was bumped to version 1.13 as minimum.

[hfiguiere]

libheif is NOT at the right version.

To be fair I haven't tested any other distro, but my suspicion is that this is not Fedora specific since the previous flatpak build of Darktable provided HEIC support even on Fedora, which suggests that libheif was coming from the flatpak and not from a Fedora package.

[paperdigits]

Fedora having or not having an arbitrary library should not impact the flatpak, as the flatpak carries its own dependences.
