Subject: [PATCH] preview: remove ffprobe fallback and unused json import

_get_image_dimensions now relies solely on pyvips header reading.
If pyvips cannot read the header the function returns None and the
caller encodes at full resolution rather than falling back to ffprobe.
Remove unused stdlib json import.
