Add explanation for why modern format images may not appear after upload #2442

Description

@b1ink0

Users frequently open support topics confused about why their uploads aren't generating AVIF/WebP files, or why images on the frontend are still JPEG.

In most cases this is expected, the plugin discards the converted file if it's larger than the original (controlled by webp_uploads_discard_larger_generated_images, which defaults to true). But there's currently nothing in the admin dashboard that explains this.

It would help to surface some explanation somewhere in the settings so users understand the default behavior.
