feat: Make quality of images sent in chats more consistent

Currently, the resolution of a resized image that was sent in a chat,
depends on the aspect-ratio.

Assuming the `balanced`-quality-setting is used,
a square image, that is larger than the limits for resolution and file-size,
will be resized to 1280x1280 (1,638,400 pixels),
an image with an aspect-ratio of 16:9,
will be resized to 1280x720 (921,600 pixels),
and if the aspect-ratio is 32:9, to 1280x360 (460,800 pixels).

This change makes it so, that the number of pixels,
in images with different aspect-ratios, will be similar.
