Now you can program Animated GIFs easily onto your ESP32

You can now drag/drop animated GIFs into ChiliPeppr's ESP32 web IDE and it will create the code for you to upload to your ESP32.

The main goal was to be able to add video animations way easier onto ESP32 and all of the ample OLED displays out there, thus using animated GIFs as the import mechanism made the most sense. What we have plenty of on ESP32 is the 4MB of flash memory, so the approach here is to convert your animated GIFs to uncompressed frames ready to go in the XBM format and sitting on the ESP32 flash drive. That's what this new feature does. Here's a video of how to do it.
