Description

When setting waitForAnimate to false I want to be able to swipe through the next slide, before the animation finishes. The animation currently doesn't seem to change any behaviour of swiping and animating.

This is important for mobile when you want the user to have a smooth swiping experience that's as fast as possible.

Sandbox: https://3vvzvzl325.codesandbox.io/ (Just swipe very fast through the slides and you'll notice you always have to wait for the current slide animation to finish until you can swipe to the next one)

Research direction
Investigate the `waitForAnimate` prop implementation in the react slick component. Focus on the animation callback flow: likely in the main slider component (e.g., src/slider.js) and how swipe events interact with the animation state. The issue is that setting `waitForAnimate={false}` should allow swiping before animation finishes, but currently it doesn't. Check if the prop is properly passed to internal methods and if there's a missing early return or state reset. Refer to the sandbox for reproduction.
