Took me longer than anticipated because I went the wrong way trying to solve this. Left it on the backburner for a few days before going back to it with another approach 😉

There’s now a new site setting: `crop_tall_images` which is enabled by default and will generate a crop of tall images instead of generating a thin thumbnail.
