enableImageWebp breaks animated GIF files

[major]

Issue description

If I enable enableImageWebp, it does a great job on all my images except for .gif files. It turns them into a static, non-animated image. If I set enableImageWebp to false, GIFs are animated again, but I lose the image optimizations on all of the other images.

Would it be possible to exclude .gif files from the optimization?

Thanks!
