New description:

 We recently [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/53645 landed support]
 for converting HEIC images to JPEGs when uploading, solving a big issue
 for users who want to post images to their sites.

 This feature requires requires that the server support HEIC in Imagick or
 possibly GD, the two image libraries used by WordPress to process images
 on the server side.

 It would be nice to know what percentage of WordPress sites have HEIC
 support on the server since we are working on a parallel effort to move
 media processing to the client.

 In #48116 we added checks for server support for WebP and AVIF formats for
 similar reasons, this ticket proposes adding HEIC support detection.
