[Package]: webp-pixbuf-loader package request

[hansm629]

Why is it worth to add this package?

In Termux native XFCE4 environment
The webp image thumbnail is not displayed and it does not run through the Ristretto image viewer.

PRoot-Distro Debian Linux the same symptom occurs in the XFCE4 environment.
The symptom was resolved after installing the webp-pixbuf-loader package.

When webp-pixbuf-loader is ported to Termux
I think it will be very helpful in improving multimedia experience and usability.

Could you please build the above package?
If only this package is ported, most of the multimedia aspects in Termux will be satisfied, except for the lack of hardware decoding!

I have added a pull request to fix this issue. Would you like to test the packages from GitHub Actions artifacts of that pull request? Link https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/actions/runs/8852177640

I have installed the package from CI artifact and it's working fine with thunar and xfce4. The following screenshot shows the generated thumbnails of sample image file in thunar.
