Description

I suggest that we add a 'TWEEN.animate' convenience method. It would set up a simple requestAnimationFrame animation loop.

function animate(time) {
	requestAnimationFrame(animate);
	TWEEN.update(time);
}
requestAnimationFrame(animate);

In the documentation, we just need to tell users to use this method once before starting any tweens.

We might need a shim for Node.js.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement the TWEEN.animate method as described: create a function that calls requestAnimationFrame recursively and TWEEN.update. Add a Node.js shim if needed.
