Changes

This library was created to address specific issues with anime.js:

• rewritten in typescript
• incompatibilty with Server Side Rendering
• seek to 0 or to initial state did not set initial state or fire updates, causing desync issues
• the requestAnimationFrame loop wasn't exposable to sync with other calls
• object mutations were deoptimizing several key processes in Safari, causing slowdowns and hiccups
• reduce loops were causing general deoptimizing in all browsers, seemingly randomly. these reduces were to perform array flattening (now replaced with .flat()) and sorting and have been replaced or removed
• functional loops (e.g. forEach), though nice, were creating deep functions-in-loops. these have been addressed where possible to avoid function creation and reduce spikes in memory/garbage collection
• initialization of many animations was very slow. the central anime call and other encapsulations have been turned into pure functions and/or classes
• substituted Map & Set where possible to reduce loop work-arounds/indexOf/includes checks
• heavier parts of the library can now be tree shaked when not imported/used
