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