Column-family series ignore animationLimit zero

Expected behaviour

The documented animationLimit value 0 should disable per-point update animation for Column, Bullet, and XRange series, matching the nullish-default behavior already used by Dumbbell.

Actual behaviour

Each implementation uses animationLimit || 250, replacing an explicit zero with 250. Small series therefore still animate their point or target updates.

Live demo with steps to reproduce

  1. Create a Column, Bullet, or XRange series with animationLimit: 0.
  2. Update a point (or inspect XRange's selected animation verb).
  3. Observe that the animated path remains selected.
