peter c221452a00 feat(downloads): a clip or an edit can be a GIF, shared as a picture
A clip and an editor range can come out as a silent GIF (long side
320/480/640, 12 fps, at most 30 s, one palette per GIF); one over 30 MB
is not kept. A shared picture is served inline under the preview's
sandbox, and a GIF's link card is the GIF itself up to 15 MB, the still
for Facebook's crawler.

"""What a library file previews as — the single home of the preview allow-list.
A generic file (`media_kind == "file"`; video and audio have their players) previews by its stored
`container`, the upload's cleaned extension, and ONLY through this table: an image is shown as an
image, a PDF in the browser's own viewer, and a text format as plain text. Anything else has no
preview. The served Content-Type comes from here too, never from a guess on the name, and HTML / SVG
sit in the TEXT list on purpose: rendered on this origin, an uploaded page would run with the
reader's session. The route adds `CSP: sandbox` on top, so even a mislabelled file (a "png" that is
really a page) gets no script and no origin.
The serializer hands the kind to the client (`asset.preview`), so the library and the server can
never disagree on which files open a preview.
