Flicks were still largely tied to client ticks instead of actual time elapsed.

Setting an icon_state seems to play it at the correct speed now. However, flick(ed) animations still seem to play much slower than they should.

Falacy	Changing world.fps from 100 to 60 seems to fix this.

Lummox JR	This fix is for build 494.1128; the 1126 build erroneously reported (my fault) that a separate fix impacted flicks as well, which was incorrect.
