BYOP | Bring Your Own Pet

[codingLogan]

Please describe your idea. As a user of vscode-pets, I would like the option to provide my own gifs for a pet in the settings, in order for it to run around in the panel without needing to add code.

Describe how the idea would be helpful There are clearly many requests for pets, and it's a lot of work to maintain each possible color and animal option out there. It would be useful to provide a configurable pet that uses standard behaviors, where through extension settings all a user needs to provide is the gifs.

This would open up the ability for people in the community to really make whatever pets they would like, given some creativity and time to make gifs. Additionally, if really clear docs were added for the gif creation process, I could see this being extremely valuable, and more people could get the pets they'd like.

Additional context As an example, over the weekend I forked the repo and created a Hollow Knight pet, but for copywrite reasons I don't think it's a good idea to provide it as an "official" pet option.

With a "Settings" option to select gifs that should be used (if it's possible), technically any pet could be used without worrying about copywrite, and it eliminates needing to add every pet to the code.
