Allow exporting an animation as a GIF #129

https://github.com/ImageOptim/gifski would be good but it seems that it requires rust to build it.
https://github.com/ginsweater/gif-h might work, but it says that the resulting files are large. It also mentions that it is limited to RGBA8, and that the alpha is ignored, though I'm not sure if that's important in practice if people just want to give a quick preview GIF of their sprites.
https://github.com/wernsey/bitmap seems like a good fit.

So far it seems like the resulting gifs created with https://github.com/wernsey/bitmap are 5 bits per pixel (32 colours), which is quite limited but a good starting point. Relates to #129

Uses this library to export the GIF: https://github.com/wernsey/bitmap I haven't found a way to disable the compression yet, but this is a good starting point. Relates to #129
