image/gif: Decode returns an image with empty palette

[Dmitry Vyukov]

The following program crashes with the panic:

package main

import (
    "bytes"
    "image/gif"
)

func main() {
    data := []byte("GIF89a000\x00000,00\x00\x00\x00\x000\x000\x02\b\r0000000\x00;")
    img, err := gif.Decode(bytes.NewReader(data))
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    var w bytes.Buffer
    err = gif.Encode(&w, img, nil)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    _, err = gif.Decode(&w)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
}

panic: gif: cannot encode image block with empty palette

goroutine 1 [running]:
main.main()
    gif.go:17 +0x219

Decode should not return an image with empty palette, it should return an error instead.
