Animation playback back in control. And non-blocking still!

- Play follows the "Playback" options in TimeLine menu.
  Only the region 'windows' are drawn, not headers, toolbars,
  channel views, etc.
  The option "Buttons Window" also redraws property regions.
- The Timeline header always redraws, this to denote at least
  progressing frame numbers
- For now: if you choose to play 3D views, it also redraws 
  the TimeLine. Seems to be good convention, but probably
  better to add menu option for it?

- Fun test: while playback, change Playback options, works OK!

- New: top header button shows animation play status, and allows
  to stop playback

- New: Animation stop/start operator. Assigned to ALT+A. It has
  no options yet; just plays active region + all 3D windows now.
  Options will follow, based on reviews.
  Also ESC won't work for now, just press ALT+A again.
