Follow-up to [56037], as that changeset accidentally did not consider the changes made in [55825]: Images that are programmatically injected into post content (e.g. through a block, or shortcode, or any hook calling a function like `wp_get_attachment_image()`) must be treated as part of the whole post content blob since otherwise the heuristics for applying `fetchpriority="high"` and `loading="lazy"` are skewed by parsing certain images before others rather than sequentially parsing the entire post content. [55825] addressed that for lazy-loading, but when [56037] introduced `fetchpriority` support, the related refactor missed making the same consideration for that attribute.

Following [55318], [55847], and [56142], certain images in the header of the page have received support for potentially receiving `fetchpriority="high"` and having the `loading="lazy"` attribute omitted. However, these images being present did not affect the "content media count" which counts the images towards a certain threshold so that the first ones are not lazy-loaded.
This changeset also increases that count for such header images if they are larger than a certain threshold. The threshold is used to avoid e.g. a header with lots of small images such as icon graphics to skew the lazy-loading behavior.

This changeset is a follow up to [56037] and ensures that the `get_header_image_tag()` function receives the benefits of `wp_get_loading_optimization_attributes()` as well. Prior to `fetchpriority` support, this was not needed since the header image should never be lazy-loaded, but the image certainly is a `fetchpriority` candidate, so therefore it is crucial to have it supported.

This changeset adds support for the `fetchpriority` attribute, which is typically added to a single image in each HTML response with a value of "high". This enhances load time performance (also Largest Contentful Paint, or LCP) by telling the browser to prioritize this image for downloading even before the layout of the page has been computed. In lab tests, this has shown to improve LCP performance by ~10% on average.
Specifically, `fetchpriority="high"` is added to the first image that satisfies all of the following conditions:
* The image is not lazy-loaded, i.e. does not have `loading="lazy"`.
* The image does not already have a (conflicting) `fetchpriority` attribute.
* The size of of the image (i.e. width * height) is greater than 50,000 squarepixels.
While these heuristics are based on several field analyses, there will always be room for optimization. Sites can customize the squarepixel threshold using a new filter `wp_min_priority_img_pixels` which should return an integer for the value.
Since the logic for adding `fetchpriority="high"` is heavily intertwined with the logic for adding `loading="lazy"`, yet the features should work decoupled from each other, the majority of code changes in this changeset is refactoring of the existing lazy-loading logic to be reusable. For this purpose, a new function `wp_get_loading_optimization_attributes()` has been introduced which returns an associative array of performance-relevant attributes for a given HTML element. This function replaces `wp_get_loading_attr_default()`, which has been deprecated. As another result of that change, a new function `wp_img_tag_add_loading_optimization_attrs()` replaces the more specific `wp_img_tag_add_loading_attr()`, which has been deprecated as well.

When the logic to exclude images that likely appear above the fold from being lazy-loaded was introduced in WordPress 5.9, initially only images that appear within the main query loop were being considered. However, there is a good chance that images above the fold are rendered before the loop starts, for example in the header template part.
It is particularly common for a theme to display the featured image for a single post in the header. Based on HTTP Archive data from February 2023, the majority of LCP images that are still being lazy-loaded on WordPress sites use the `wp-post-image` class, i.e. are featured images.
This changeset enhances the logic in `wp_get_loading_attr_default()` to not lazy-load images that appear within or after the header template part and before the query loop, using a new `WP_Query::$before_loop` property.
For block themes, this was for the most part already addressed in [55318], however this enhancement implements the solution in a more generally applicable way that brings the improvement to classic themes as well.

In order to skip lazy-loading the first few images on a page, as of WordPress 5.9 there has been logic to count images that are eligible based on certain criteria. One of those groups are images that appear within the content of a post.
This changeset fixes a bug where images created via `get_the_post_thumbnail()` or `wp_get_attachment_image()` that are injected into the post content would skew the count and therefore result in all images to be lazy-loaded, potentially hurting load time performance. This is relevant for example when those functions are called in server-side rendered blocks, or any other filter callbacks hooked into `the_content`.

Since WordPress 5.9, a "context" value of "wp_get_attachment_image" has been used in the `wp_get_attachment_image()` function to provide context to underlying functions where that is relevant, e.g. `wp_get_loading_attr_default()`. Since that value used to be not customizable, it required a workaround in `get_the_post_thumbnail()` to avoid calling those functions in `wp_get_attachment_image()`, which resulted in unnecessary complexity and was prone to errors.
This changeset introduces a `wp_get_attachment_image_context` filter and leverages it with private filter callback functions that are leveraged by default when `get_the_post_thumbnail()` is called. This avoids the need for the previous workaround and furthermore provides flexibility for other callers of `wp_get_attachment_image()` to provide their own contexts.

The previous default threshold for how many content images to skip lazy-loading on (which was just 1) has proven to be too strict: HTTP Archive data shows that >70% of sites have up to 3 equal-sized images in the initial viewport, each of which could be the LCP image and therefore should not be lazy-loaded. Lazy-loading too many images has adverse effects on load time performance, while increasing the default threshold will not negatively affect load time performance even for sites where a threshold of 1 would be the perfect choice.
The change of default value in this changeset will improve performance for more WordPress sites out of the box. The `wp_omit_loading_attr_threshold` filter can still be used to customize and fine tune the value where needed.

[52065] originally introduced the logic to guess the LCP image based on certain heuristics and to not lazy-load that image. However, with the introduction of block themes, that logic was not functioning correctly, resulting in all featured images to be lazy-loaded, regardless of whether it was the LCP image or not.
Together with an update to the `core/post-featured-image` block included in [55079], this changeset fixes the logic to correctly handle featured images in block themes as well.
Additionally, in combination with an update to the `core/template-part` block from [55246], this changeset includes an enhancement which uses the benefits of block template parts to avoid lazy-loading images in the `header` block template part, making the lazy-loading heuristics even more accurate for sites using a block theme.

The existing filter `image_editor_output_format` receives an additional parameter `$size_name` which is populated whenever it controls the output format for a specific registered image size to create. Otherwise, it remains empty. In order to achieve this, a low level change has been added in bringing a new `$size_name` class property to the `WP_Image_Editor` base class, which is introduced in a backward compatible way that will not cause conflicts with custom implementations.
This parameter is then used in new logic inside the `wp_default_image_output_mapping()` callback function for the filter, controlling whether `image/jpeg` should map to `image/webp` output or not. By default, this is enabled for all WordPress core image sizes by default, and this list can be modified using a new `wp_image_sizes_with_additional_mime_type_support` filter, e.g. to remove core sizes or add custom sizes.
The customization per image size may be further enhanced by providing a more declarative API via a new parameter on the `add_image_size()` function.

This changeset adds the capability for core media uploads to generate sub sized images in more than a single mime type. The output formats for each mime type can be controlled through a filter. WebP is used as an additional output format for JPEG images by default to improve front end performance.
When generating additional mime types, only images which are smaller than the respective original are retained. By default, additional mime type images are only generated for the built-in core image sizes and any custom sizes that have opted in.
Image meta is updated with a new 'sources' array containing file details for each mime type. Each image size in the 'sizes' array also gets a new 'sources' array that contains the image file details for each mime type.
This change also increases image upload retries to accommodate additional image sizes. It also adds a `$mime_type` parameter to the `wp_get_missing_image_subsizes` function and filter.
This change adds three new filters to enable full control of secondary mime image generation and output:
* A new filter `wp_image_sizes_with_additional_mime_type_support` that filters the sizes that support secondary mime type output. Developers can use this to control the output of additional mime type sub-sized images on a per size basis.
* A new filter `wp_upload_image_mime_transforms` that filters the output mime types for a given input mime type. Developers can use this to control generation of additional mime types for a given input mime type or even override the original mime type.
* A new filter `wp_content_image_mimes` which controls image mime type output selection and order for frontend content. Developers can use this to control the mime type output preference order for content images. Content images inserted from the media library will use the available image versions based on the order from this filter.
Thanks to the many contributors who helped develop, test and give feedback on this feature.

This filter allows modifying individual `img` tags within a blob of content that are by default processed by the `wp_filter_content_tags()` function. The addition of this filter facilitates plugins that tweak images to accomplish this goal without re-implementing duplicate content image parser logic, which furthermore can have a negative performance impact due to additional regular expressions.
In addition to the filterable `img` tag, the filter receives the context (typically the function or filter in which the content is parsed) and the attachment ID. The latter may be 0, in case the image is not an attachment (for example when it is an external image URL).

This change also introduces a new helper function called, `wp_filesize`. This is a wrapper around the `filesize` php function, that adds some helpful filters and ensures the return value is an integer.

This change makes sure only gallery content is returned by `get_post_galleries()`. It fixes an issue where non gallery block content was also returned by the function.

`file_get_contents()` is faster than `fread()`, because the PHP core can decide how to best read the remaining file; it could decide to issue just one `read()` call or `mmap()` the file first.
Per the PHP manual, `file_get_contents()` or `stream_get_contents()` is the preferred way to read the contents of a file into a string. It will use memory mapping techniques if supported by the OS to enhance performance.
