[SDK-5246] Adds Gif Support

[nishant-clevertap]

• Adds support for Gif in Basic, Timer, Rating and Zero Bezel template

---

Note

Adds GIF rendering to notification templates using SDWebImage, introducing new pt_gif (and pt_gif_alt) fields with graceful fallback to static images.

• GIF Support (SDWebImage):
  • Integrate SDWebImage (podspec dependency) and vendor framework; switch image views to SDAnimatedImageView where needed.
  • CTCaptionedImageView: new isGifSupported flag; uses sd_setImage for GIFs, existing loader for static images.
• Templates Updated:
  • Carousel (Basic): load pt_gif when available; fallback to pt_big_img/product images; keep manual/auto carousel static images as before.
  • Timer: pre-expiry load pt_gif; post-expiry supports pt_gif_alt; fallbacks to image variants; accessibility labels maintained.
  • Rating: load pt_gif or fallback to pt_big_img.
  • Zero Bezel: load pt_gif or fallback to pt_big_img.
  • Content Slider/Single Media: instantiate captioned views with isGifSupported: false (no change in behavior).
• Models:
  • Add pt_gif to CarouselProperties, RatingProperties, ZeroBezelProperties.
  • Add pt_gif, pt_gif_alt (and related alt-text fields) to TimerTemplateProperties.
• Misc:
  • Add example Xcode scheme (CTNotificationContentExample.xcscheme).

Bug: Bug

The alternative GIF loading path inconsistently pre-validates GIF URLs using CTUtiltiy.checkImageUrlValid before sd_setImage. This utility may not correctly handle GIFs, potentially rejecting valid URLs and causing unnecessary fallback to regular images. This pre-validation is also redundant, as sd_setImage includes its own error handling.

The xcodeproj isnt building cuz SDWebImage isn't included in the libraries section with the "do not embed" flag. Manual integration and xcframework generation will fail

@nishant-clevertap I think the command pod lib lint would fail since it would build the xcodeproj first and that doesn't build since SDWebImage isn't included.
