fix(webp): address review — drop broken GIF, robust ext check, centralize lists

Review feedback on #1831:
- Remove *.gif from the save/output dialog filter (PR had added it there).
  Verified empirically that cv2.imread/imwrite cannot decode OR encode GIF on
  OpenCV 4.10 *or* 4.11 (write raises, read returns None), so GIF silently
  failed on both ends — dropped from every dialog and from has_image_extension.
- has_image_extension now uses os.path.splitext so only the true extension
  counts ('photo.png.bak' / 'clip.webp.mp4' are no longer treated as images).
- Centralize the supported-extension set in modules.globals (IMAGE_EXTENSIONS /
  VIDEO_EXTENSIONS); file_types, all QFileDialog filters and has_image_extension
  now derive from it instead of hand-copied lists that had already drifted.

WEBP itself is unchanged and works (libwebp ships with opencv-python).
