fix(media): "Compress image" no longer blackens transparent images or freezes animations (#331)

Compression re-encodes through a canvas to JPEG. Only PNG was skipped,
so a transparent WebP came out on a black background, and an animated
GIF or WebP became one still frame. GIF and APNG are no longer offered;
an animated WebP (VP8X animation flag) or any image with a transparent
pixel is kept as the original.

Fixes #331
