Changing animation in sprite or sprite frames editor is undo-able

[GeneralProtectionFault]

Fixed #1349

Just an update so changing the selected animation is added to the undo/redo history.
Should eliminate unexpected "edits" made before selecting an animation.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Animation selection changes in the editor can now be undone and redone.
  • Undo history preserves the previously selected animation for both animation players and sprite frame editors.
  • Reverting an animation selection also restores the corresponding playback state.

• Bug Fixes

  • Selecting the already active animation no longer creates an unnecessary undo history entry.
  • Invalid or unavailable previous animations are handled without adding an undo action.

Walkthrough

Animation selection changes in the AnimationPlayer and AnimatedSprite editors now use undo/redo actions. Unchanged selections and excluded initial states use direct assignment. Undo restores the previous animation.

Changes

Animation selection undo history

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Record animation selection changes editor/animation/animation_player_editor_plugin.cpp, editor/scene/sprite_frames_editor_plugin.cpp	Animation selection callbacks now record eligible changes through EditorUndoRedoManager. AnimationPlayer actions also stop playback during assignment and restoration. AnimatedSprite assignment remains guarded by sprite_node_updating and requires the previous animation to exist in frames.

In `@editor/animation/animation_player_editor_plugin.cpp`:
- Around line 435-438: Update the undo/redo action in the animation assignment
flow to stop the player after setting the assigned animation in both directions.
Ensure the do path applies current via set_assigned_animation then
player->stop(), and the undo path applies previous followed by player->stop(),
reusing a helper if appropriate.
- Around line 433-438: Update the undo setup in _update_player so automatic
selection from an unassigned state does not record an undo operation restoring
an empty previous animation. Preserve undo recording for changes between valid
assigned animations, and ensure undo can restore the unassigned state only if
the existing AnimationPlayer API supports it.
