Patch attached. I'm not entirely sure this won't break anything, so
testing on a platform that already supports heif files would probably
be a good idea.

It doesn't support any of the interesting features of heif, for
example it doesn't allow you to view multiple images (like an animated
gif), but I have a suspicion the IM/GM code won't support that anyway,
so no great loss.
