Request - Remove lazy loading from main product image

[GlueDigiStu]

Issue: Currently the main product image in the gallery is using Wordpress loading="lazy" default since 5.5 behaviour. This is causing the LCP score in Google Lighthouse to be majorly affected.

Solution: in file wooswipe.php, on line 105 - change the code from

            $image = get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, apply_filters('single_product_large_thumbnail_size', 'shop_single'),
                array(
                    'title' => '',
                    'data-hq' => $hq[0],
                    'data-w' => $hq[1],
                    'data-h' => $hq[2],
                )
            );

to

            $image = get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, apply_filters('single_product_large_thumbnail_size', 'shop_single'),
                array(
                    'loading' => false,
                    'title' => '',
                    'data-hq' => $hq[0],
                    'data-w' => $hq[1],
                    'data-h' => $hq[2],
                )
            );

Result: My LCP score has dropped from 5s to 3s, and the Performance score from Lighthouse has jumped from 56 to 77.
