 Related to #5171, animation in icons and banners is getting bonkers. It's
 not a11y friendly at all, and it's annoying to everyone else.

 IMO the BEST solution would be to have SVN block all animated images named
 icon* or banner* from being uploaded, though that would require checking
 GIF, PNG, an SVG.

 There are some other options. For example, we could actually allow gifs
 but set them to not animate.

 * https://github.com/krasimir/gifffer – gifs only
 * https://stackoverflow.com/a/24707088 – block animations
 * https://stackoverflow.com/a/26349286 – svg specific
