Animate using a KCL function

[jtran]

Things left before merging:

• Decide on the API. Is the KCL function really required to be called animate() or should there be an annotation or something else that allows you to use any function, with options, like customizing the timer interval. Convention over configuration would say to use a specific name. Consider other APIs and prior art, e.g OpenSCAD.
• Decide on what the button text and icon should be. Play/pause could be confused with run (i.e. execute) which often uses a play icon.
• Fix cancellation, switching files, and execution errors to always clean up timers.
• Display KCL errors from running the animate function?
• Documentation
• Pause icon (or equivalent) while playing
