Make animation timings wrok more consistently. Fixes:

- Main character moving/attacking more slowly than vanilla client
- Other characters moving more slowly than vanilla client, causing weird walk glitches when their walk ended
- Main character timestamps not having high enough resolution
- Main character timestamps not being sent at consistent enough intervals
