Helps #2239
The first frame of the GIF from the issue (and in the GIF that I've created for this PR) has disposal method 3.
https://www.w3.org/Graphics/GIF/spec-gif89a.txt
At the moment, we only handle disposal method 3 for frames after the first frame.
Pillow/src/PIL/GifImagePlugin.py
Lines 276 to 280 in 75c1119
This means that disposal method 3 for the first frame is treated as disposal 0 ("No disposal specified. The decoder is not required to take any action.") or disposal 1 ("Do not dispose. The graphic is to be left in place.") instead.
So since "what was there prior to rendering the graphic" is... nothing... this PR attempts to treat the previous contents of the first frame as being transparent instead.
