explore animated gif resizing

We have a bunch of bad hacks in place on insights as part of an attempt to handle animated gifs. By default image styles all break gifs. We might reevaluate whether or not it's possible to resize gifs.

There are a number of issues:

Some of which point in other directions around a coalesce setting

  • possible future advanced options
  • image effects module which may allow setting cli args

Apparently, the coalesce setting can unoptimize images resulting in larger sizes.

Also, in all of this, I'm really curious how much memory image style creation will consume since, with our file size limits, we already sometimes come close or exceed memory limits on pantheon during image style operations.
