Reported in #1355. GifImagePlugin has the output version number fixed a 87a, but may use features that are only valid for 89a.
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/GIF/spec-gif89a.txt
"The specification given here defines version 89a, which is an extension of version 87a."
The features that require 89a are -
"An encoder should use the earliest possible version number that includes all the blocks used in the Data Stream."
I think that this sounded reasonable in 1990, but today, both versions of GIF would be supported on a given platform. My suggestion is - if 89a features are used, then 89a. Otherwise, if the input has a version, use that. Otherwise, 87a.
This PR makes that change.
