Subject: [PATCH] webp: make a placeholder package for Go 1.5 and earlier.

This lets programs that underscore import this package build on Go 1.5.

+// package can be built for Go 1.5 and earlier. (The other files in this
+// package are all marked "+build go1.6" for the NYCbCrA types introduced in Go
+// 1.6). There is no functionality in a blank package, but some image
+// manipulation programs might still underscore import this package for the
+// side effect of registering the WEBP format with the standard library's
+// image.RegisterFormat and image.Decode functions. For example, that program
+// might contain:
+//
+//	// Underscore imports to register some formats for image.Decode.
+//	import _ "image/gif"
+//	import _ "image/jpeg"
+//	import _ "image/png"
+//	import _ "golang.org/x/image/webp"
+//
+// Such a program will still compile for Go 1.5 (due to this placeholder Go
+// file). It will simply not be able to recognize and decode WEBP (but still
+// handle GIF, JPEG and PNG).
