during engineering of #5040, we found that memory management in the gif loader could be improved, however this would need changes in the GifDecoder library.

• create a PR for Aircoookie/GifDecoder:

  1. add return value to decoder.alloc(), for platforms that do not support exceptions. true=success, false=failed
  2. support a custom "malloc" callback function. This function gets the number of bytes as parameter, and it returns a pointer to the allocated memory. decoder.alloc() then constructs its internal "gif" object inside the provided memory block.

• once we have support in GifDecoder, integrate WLED internal d_malloc() into image_loader.cpp.
