Description
To provide a more robust animation / effect capability we will be re-implementing the ace:animation component using the jQuery effect library.
Need to keep ace:animation as backwards compatible as possible. However, dropping support for predefined custom effect types is okay. Instead, we will just use the simpler approach offered by jquery effects going forward.

Committed major changes at revision 25579.
Basically, the re-implementation is made. The only thing missing at the moment is support for the tab transition event. All the standard jQuery-ui effects are now supported, as well as arbitrary animations, using the same API.
It seems that the initial aim of the animation framework was to support custom, non-standard events. The only place where we ended up using this framework was in the TabSet component, with the custom 'transition' event.
Adding support for custom events will take additional effort. Most of the code of the animation framework has to do with supporting custom events, specifically the TabSet 'transition' event. This is one of those cases where 20% of the code solves 80% of the cases, and 80% of the code solves the remaining 20% of the cases.
