Description

Allow for frames to be displayed and played as the GIF file is still being fetched from the network.

See this first prototype of it: https://github.com/geoffmacd/FLAnimatedImage/commit/e87569da8c9864d36a362e36c2f03a6d5a1a712d

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked prototype commit e87569da8c9864d36a362e36c2f03a6d5a1a712d and tracing how FLAnimatedImage currently fetches and decodes GIF data. Done means frames can be displayed and played while the GIF is still being fetched, rather than waiting for the complete file.
