bump version to 0.1.20

AnimatedTexture is deprecated and broken in Godot 4.4. Strip all animated
GIF infrastructure (frame cycling, focus handler, settings UI, frame delay
parsing). GIFs are now always converted to a static first-frame PNG cached
to disk. Banner stitching disk cache and format detection fallback retained.
