The ship crafter and the ship lab should only animate when something is being crafted in them

Done in 39ad050.

The CLOCK stops rather than the drawing - every moving element is a NeonPiece positioned from that clock, so a frozen clock leaves the cranes parked, where stopping the animation call would leave them wherever the last frame put them.

Worth recording: reading GameState by the bare identifier fails to COMPILE these scripts. They are reached through a BuildingDefinition's visual_scene, which is preloaded while the catalog is still loading - before the autoload is in the global class table. They use a tree lookup instead.
