bug#40685: 28.0.50; eww browser chews up 100% cpu when displaying looping gif animations

[Francis Meetze]

When opening a web page in the Emacs browser that contains infinite looping gif 
animations Emacs starts spinning up 100% CPU even after the emacs browser is 
closed.  Emacs has to be completely shut down to reduce the CPU usuage.

If the 100% CPU process is allowed to run its course, it eventually stops after 
several minutes with the message, "Stopping animation; animation possibly too 
big".
