Remove imageapi_optimize module suggestion - with new avif support in core it's not needed anymore. avif is even smaller IMHO.

    Issue #3609852: Refine imageapi_optimize recommendation description

Thanks for the suggestion. However, core's AVIF support (11.2+) and imageapi_optimize solve different problems:

- Core: Format conversion (AVIF/WebP generation)
- imageapi_optimize: File optimization (recompression via jpegoptim, optipng, metadata stripping)

They're complementary, not substitutes. Additionally:
- Core AVIF requires PHP GD with libavif support (not universal on shared hosting)
- This audit runs on Drupal 10.x too, where core has no AVIF

Rather than remove the recommendation, I'm clarifying the description to reflect its true role as an optimization complement.
