Deprecate tick_ms and use actual milliseconds rather than arbitrary 60ms ticks for char.ini [Time]

Fix an extremely weird case where CharLayer::Play() was not called even on the CharLayer class (I don't understand why inheritance was straight up just ignored)
Fix using preanims with static images just breaking everything
Deprecate weird insanity [Time] with the % sign BS (What was this for again? Literally no one used this nor was aware of it)
Fix text_stay_time timer firing even if we're immediate
Just in case, stop the text delay timer when start_chat_ticking is called
