[Bug 1951278] [NEW] kimageformat-plugins should be built with HEIC / HEIF support

[Christoph Singer]

Public bug reported:

Description:    Ubuntu 21.10
Release:        21.10
kimageformat-plugins:
  Installiert:           5.88.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu21.10~ppa1

(but effects older versions, too)

Currently, kimageformat-plugins is built without support for HEIC / HEIC
images. That's why Gwenview, Dolphin and other KDE apps can't show .heif
images from modern smartphones like recent iPhones.

Enabling heif support is a matter of installing libheif-dev and
rebuilding kimageformat-plugins with option KIMAGEFORMATS_HEIF=ON.

Please enable this by default. Thank you!
