Bug description

Signal for iOS still depends on libwebp. Since iOS 14, WebP decoding is natively supported [1], and the minimum deployment target for Signal for iOS is iOS 15. This makes the fallback in the function runLaunchTasksIfNeededAndReloadCaches obsolete. libwebp's decoder SDImageWebPCoder is no longer needed, as Apple's decoder SDImageAWebPCoder fully replaces it for all supported iOS versions.
