Gliding is now tied to actual elapsed time instead of ticks, for smoother movement closer to what animate() produces.

Currently, glide_size uses the number of ticks that happened, which means that lag results in a noticable skipping effect. It would be better if it used elapsed time.

Relatedly, to make glide_size look good requires fixing client FPS because different client FPSes will animate the same glide_size at different speeds.
