```
Fix crash and enable GIF animation in markdown preview (#53459)

Closes #53426

Fixes a crash when previewing markdown with GIFs, and enables GIF
animation in the preview panel.

Two issues: a partially-decoded GIF could crash the preview, and GIFs in
markdown previews never animated.

The fix for GIFs with empty comment extensions (`21 fe 00`) was
implemented upstream in the `image-gif` crate (image-rs/image-gif#228)
and released as `gif 0.14.2`. This PR bumps the dependency so those GIFs
now render correctly in the markdown preview without any further changes
to Zed itself.

Release Notes:

- Fixed a crash in certain scenarios when opening Markdown Preview with
GIFs.
- Added GIF animation support for Markdown Preview.
