Fix playing image-sequences with frames containing 9 or more numbers

The path calculation method for animation players: frame-cycler, rv &
mplayer would fail when the number of digits exceeded the range of a
32bit int causing RenderData.frame_path() to raise a ValueError.

Use a simpler method of extracting the range that uses the sign to
detect the beginning of the number.
