  An attempt to improve water and lava animation performance

By allowing one frame's worth of random shift to the animation start times, the load of redrawing water hexes is distributed more evenly across frames instead of all water always getting redrawn in the same frame. The visual impact of having animations in adjacent hexes be one frame apart should be practically imperceptible, although visibility in screenshots might be a legitimate problem.

Transition animations are kept synced, because there can be up to six transition images on one hex so it seems safer performance-wise to draw all transitions in the same frame instead of letting them all get individually shifted.

Also increased the frame durations from 100 to 125.
