According to the docs (https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreatefromwebp.php and https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagewebp.php), `false` should be returned on errors (similar to other functions of the `gd` extension), but actually all errors result in a `Fatal Error`. It doesn't look normal when trying to read an empty file or a file in the wrong format causes the program to stop. The problem seems to be related to a mega-patch that replaced `zend_error` with `zend_error_noreturn` almost everywhere. My patch fixes this behavior by switching from `zend_error_noerror` to `gd_error` (i.e. to `E_WARNING` level). All necessary memory cleanup is already in the code (as it was before the "zend_error_noreturn" patch).
