Make the plugin work on shared hosting

The plugin already contains binaries, but they do not execute, because this feature is disabled for the public_html folder on all hosting services.

1. Therefore, we will create a folder outside of public_html. For example ‘/home1/user7/webp’. You must change this path to yours.

2. Copy binaries here. We can take them from the plugin folder or from here.
We have to get the path ‘/home1/user7/webp/cwebp’

3. Change the file ‘/home1/user7/webp/cwebp’ permision to Chmod 744 (chmod a+rwx,g-wx,o-wx)

4. We have to add this path in the plugin file BinaryDiscovery.php

// Common system paths
    private static $commonSystemPaths = [
        '/usr/bin',
        '/usr/local/bin',
        '/usr/gnu/bin',
        '/usr/syno/bin',
        '/bin',
        '/home1/user7/webp',
    ];

5. All. Now you have a working conversion method cwebp.

A request to the author, if you can add a field where you can specify this path in the settings, so as not to edit the plugin file.

Tested on shared hosting Bluehost and Hostgator with PHP v7.3
