Caprine: Stop autoplay for the videos and animated gif files

[Martina-Neumayer]

Hi all.

This is not a bug report but a feature request.
It will be very, very nice to have some option to stop autoplay for the videos and animated gif files
which are sent in messages.

And it would be best to have some kind of blocking of receiving msg'a with such attachments.
For example when the blocade is turned on I can recive only text from such msg's but not the attached video or gif.

Operating system: Linux Mint 18.3 Mate x64
Caprine version: v2.9.0

The best solution would be to take the GIF/video, extract the first frame, and replace the GIF/video with the first frame and a play button, and when clicked, replace the static photo with the GIF/video again.

Hate to say it but the stupid "GIF keyboard" style images are still autoplaying. Running 2.32.0.
