fix(media): Increase max dimension to 12000px for modern phone cameras

Modern iPhones (48MP) and other phones produce images larger than 4096px.
Since optimize_image() resizes them anyway, the input limit was too
restrictive. Increased from 4096x4096 to 12000x12000.

+### Changed
+
+- Increased maximum input image dimensions from 4096x4096 to 12000x12000 to support modern phone cameras (48MP+); images are still optimized to smaller sizes for web delivery
+
 ### Dependencies
 
 - Added `pillow-heif` for HEIC image processing
