[OpenVerse] Animations

[Andy Goth <andygoth@ectisp.net>]

Currently animation takes up bandwidth since it requires repeatedly sending
avatar change messages.  For some people (like me), bandwidth is quite
narrow, so this is unacceptable.  I suggest that when changing to an
animated avatar the .av file is sent so that the client can read it and do
its own animation without relying on avatar change messages.

In addition, it would be nice if we could specify the duration of each
frame of an animated avatar.  This way I could make the "static" frame of
my existenz_tv avatar take much less time than the video frames without
resorting to using a high animation speed and stuffing multiple video
frames in for each static frame.
