    media-libs/giflib: add 5.2.2
    
    The release notes mention CVE-2023-48161 and CVE-2022-28506 by CVE but
    there's a bunch of other security fixes in the list of fixes.
    
    The documentation in this release also adds:
    """
    +<refsect1><title>Bugs</title>

    +<para>Feeding this utility a GIF with an invalid colormap, or other

    +
    +</refsect1>
    """
    
    Anyway, on the ebuild side:
    * Replace Makefile patch for doc building conditionally with a sed
    * Make tests more verbose (needed it when debugging bug #848807)
    * Cleanup reallocarray hack (bug #677956)
    * Add LFS support (bug #915316)
