Subject: [PATCH] gif: Initialise code_last_byte to not cause undefined
 behaviour

Currently, code_last_byte is set only after it has been used, i.e.

context->block_buf[0] = context->block_buf[context->code_last_byte - 2];

comes before anything has touched context->code_last_byte yet.
Except for the initialisation.
context->code_last_byte is set a few lines later, though.
And nowhere else, except for the initialisation which sets it
to 0.  That will inevitably lead to context->block_buf[-2] which is
undefined behaviour.

We hence set the code_last_byte to 2 in order to not make that
array index invalid.
