Effects: Reintroduce use of requestAnimationFrame

Same as before, just use don't use prefixes, since they pretty match useless now
and use page visibility API to determine if animation should start.

Also null the requestAnimationFrame attribute in window for tests since
sinon does not provide fake method for it.

Fixes #15147
