  Added a new tool: Animated GIF analyzer. It allows you to inspect the internal structure of animated GIF images. It provides a summary of file, including dimensions, file size, total frame count, loop count, and the global color table (palette), followed by frame-by-frame details - frame dimensions, x/y offsets, duration, and disposal method. It is a useful utility for debugging broken GIFs, optimizing file sizes, or understanding how a specific animation is constructed.
