Fix incorrectly large reported height for animated gifs #182

The problem

I'm working on a site which uses the eleventy-image webc component and ran into an issue where animated gifs were getting ridiculously high height attributes set on them which would break the page.

It turns out this is because the base height value that sharp returns in its metadata for animated gifs is actually the sum of the height of every frame, meaning if you have a 720x720 animated gif with 100 frames in it, the reported height will come back as 72,000px. That doesn't seem helpful!

The fix

Digging into sharp's docs, the metadata will include an additional pageHeight value for animated formats which actually reflects the dimensions that the image will be displayed at.

I added a check to Image.getFullStats to swap in this pageHeight value as the official height of the image when present, and that seems to have done the trick.

// When the { animated: true } option is provided to sharp, animated
// image formats like gifs or webp will have an inaccurate `height` value

Multi-page/frame images are processed by libvips as a "toilet roll" of images, which is why the height is the total of all frames, and therefore the page height is also made available. Hope this helps explain the situation.
