Subject: bug#6258: create-animated-image hangs

When the delay between images in an animated GIF file is 0,
then calls for `run-with-timer' without delay hangs up.
Replacing it with `run-with-idle-timer' doesn't help.
An example of the animated GIF that hangs up is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Animated_glider_emblem.gif

This patch makes a short delay (0.1 sec) in this case.
Visually its speed looks the same as the speed of changing
images in Firefox when an animated GIF has no delay.
