GNOME Software doesn't support animated Gifs for screenshots

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄]

I am running GNOME Software on Ubuntu 16.04. If I look for Tizonia, it shows the app description and a static screenshot. The media uploaded to the store is actually a gif, but GNOME Software doesn't seem to support it.

Steps to reproduce

* Open GNOME Software
* Search for tizonia
* Wait for screenshot to load

Expected behaviour

* Animated gif plays in the page for the application

Actual behaviour

* Only the first frame of the animated gif is displayed.

See screenshot attached.

This is the media as it has been uploaded to the store:- https://dashboard.snapcraft.io/site_media/appmedia/2017/12/tizonia-usage-screencast.gif

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

I thought from mpt's guidance we wouldn't be supporting animations for screenshots https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/restrictions-on-screenshots-and-videos-in-snap-listings/3087/2
