Replaces the static header mascot with the animated version from design, as approved in review.

  • Theme-aware, as before. The black rook shows in GitHub's light theme and the cream rook in dark, via <picture>.
  • Dark variant. Its solid black background is made transparent, with the same 120 frames, 50 ms timing and infinite loop, so there's no visible square on GitHub's dark page (#0d1117). The light variant's white background already matches the light page, so it's unchanged.
  • Size. Width goes from 150 to 200, because the GIF frame has more padding than the cropped SVG; the rook renders at about the same size as before.
  • Clean-up. The two static SVGs are no longer referenced anywhere and are removed. Nothing else in the README changes.

The files are 116 KB (light) and 206 KB (dark). I checked both themes by rendering the README through GitHub's markdown renderer.

Swap the static header mascot for the designer's animated GIFs, still
switched by GitHub theme: black rook for light, cream rook for dark.
The dark GIF's solid black background is made transparent (same frames,
timing and loop) so it sits on GitHub's dark page without a visible
square; the light GIF's white background already matches.

Width goes from 150 to 200 because the GIF frame has more padding than
the cropped SVG. The static SVGs are no longer referenced and are removed.

Same animated GIFs as LambdaTest/rook#44, still switched by GitHub
theme. Width goes from 110 to 150 because the GIF frame has more padding
than the cropped SVG; the static SVGs are no longer referenced and are
removed.
