Caniuse: Add .avif (AV1 Image File Format) support

[EwoutH]

The AV1 Image File Format (AVIF) is a new image format based on the AV1 video codec. It would be great if support for this format could be added.

The AVIF spec can be found here: https://aomediacodec.github.io/av1-avif/

Netflix published a bunch of test images: http://download.opencontent.netflix.com/?prefix=AV1/Chimera/AVIF/

Mozilla is planning to support it in Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1443863

Microsoft is also going to support AVIF in Windows 10 (and so probably Edge).

Avif 1.0 is released, so it's definitly a thing now.

libavif tagged a new release, 0.1.3. See Colorist for an example implementation.

Both Chromium and Firefox now have issues open tracking the AVIF implementation:
