feat(attachments): add heic/heif thumbnail support

[grantfitzsimmons]

Fixes #8246

Requires the server to support it, so test alongside specify/web-asset-server#44

If this branch is used with the current v2.0 asset server, it will show a broken image link:

Testing instructions

This will likely need to be developer tested, as it requires both the Specify 7 instance to be running this branch (issue-8246) and the asset server to be using branch/Docker tag issue-44.

Compare against a production instance using the latest tagged asset server.

• Upload a HEIC attachment
• Verify that a thumbnail displays
• Upload a HEIF attachment
• Verify that a thumbnail displays
• Upload at least one of each and verify thumbnails display properly:
  • GIF
  • PNG
  • TIFF
  • PDF
• Upload text files, videos, and sounds and verify all appear as expected

Web Asset Server 2.0.1 has been released
This update adds thumbnail support for HEIC/HEIF images. Support for displaying these thumbnails in Specify 7 will be added in the 7.12.1 release (as each app has an independent list of whitelisted thumbnail-able filetypes).
