Description
### Expected Behaviour
I think we should discuss which way is better:
1) Leave it as it is and allow adding GIF files (but they won't be behaving like GIFs)
2) Block adding GIF files
### Observed Behaviour
It is possible to add GIF files in the Annotate, but it will be added as a normal image, without moving which might be confusing for the users
### Reproduction Steps
Steps:
1. Navigate to the Project: https://test.getodk.cloud/projects/720/forms/draw-annotation-signature/submissions
2. Click on the New Submission
3. In the Annotate image click on the Choose Image and select any GIF file
4. GIF will be added as a normal Image
