Thumbnail generation of GIF fails with cannot write mode P as JPEG since 2.10

[philippemilink]

Hello,

When updating easy_thumbnails[svg] from 2.9.0 to 2.10.0, I noticed the following regression.

1. Take this GIF image (not sure if the bug appears with all GIF files)
2. Execute the following code:

   from easy_thumbnails.files import get_thumbnailer
   
   t = get_thumbnailer("Steam_locomotive_work2.gif")
   thumb = t.get_thumbnail({'size': (50, 50), 'crop': True})

The following exception is raised:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "lib/python3.12/site-packages/PIL/JpegImagePlugin.py", line 639, in _save
    rawmode = RAWMODE[im.mode]
              ~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 'P'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "lib/python3.12/site-packages/easy_thumbnails/files.py", line 513, in get_thumbnail
    thumbnail = self.generate_thumbnail(
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/lib/python3.12/site-packages/easy_thumbnails/files.py", line 401, in generate_thumbnail
    img = engine.save_pil_image(
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "lib/python3.12/site-packages/easy_thumbnails/engine.py", line 77, in save_pil_image
    image.save(destination, format=format, **options)
  File "lib/python3.12/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 2568, in save
    save_handler(self, fp, filename)
  File "lib/python3.12/site-packages/PIL/JpegImagePlugin.py", line 642, in _save
    raise OSError(msg) from e
OSError: cannot write mode P as JPEG

It works as expected with version 2.9.0.

I guess it's related to #628, but even if this PR is mentioned as experimental, it introduces a regression.

👍 We've faced the same issue after updating from 2.8.5 to 2.10.0.

2.10 got experimental support for animated formats. But I guess it was merged too early, sorry for the troubles! I'll have a look.

@pecheneff @philippemilink you may pip install -e from my PR here: #657 to check if it solves to problem on your side.

[philippemilink]

Yes, I tested and your PR solves my problem, thanks!

Ok, thanks for your feedback. Let's hope for a quick release.
