Add errorBuilder

This PR improves some fill performance issues I found with various Lottie animations.
I think the real issue comes down to the render performance of Path.addPath(). The performance issue happens in the Render thread and seems directly related to how large the animation is on-screen. Flutter might be caching pre-rendered textures and running out of memory.

I've changed how Path.addPath() is called and how the path is rendered for fill_content.dart and gradient_fill_content.dart.

Just as an example, the example/assets/Tests/bm.json animation gets ~60 fps with this fix, compared to 34-52 fps with the lottie-flutter 0.6.0 release. (This is on a Pixel 3 XL)

There are a couple of other changes:

- I fixed a bug with the casing of "weather" in pubspec.yaml. Without this fix, the examples don't build on Ubuntu Linux.
The debugging class MeanCalculator wasn't initializing its fields, causing a null pointer exception when debugging.
- I added antiAliasingSuggested to LottieDrawable to allow fill paints to be anti-aliased. It is off by default. It also provides some minor performance improvements without any noticeable loss in quality. It is only applied to fills right now.
- I added PathFactory to create Paths rather than just new-ing them. path_factory.dart allows you to switch out the normal Path creation with a debug logging implementation so you can see all of the Path calls that are performed during a frame. Just create a DebugPath in the factory rather than Path.

+## [0.6.0]
+- Runs the animation at the frame rate specified in the json file (ie. An animation encoded with a 20 FPS will only
+  be paint 20 times per seconds even though the AnimationController will invalidate the widget 60 times per seconds).  
+  A new property `frameRate` allows to opt-out this behavior and have the widget to repaint at the device frame rate 
+   (`FrameRate.max`).
+- Automatically add a `RepaintBoundary` around the widget. Since `Lottie` animations are generally complex to paint, a
+   `RepaintBoundary` will separate the animation with the rest of the app and improve performance. A new property `addRepaintBoundary`
+   allows to opt-out this behavior.
+- Fix a bug where we would call `markNeedPaint` when the animation was not changing. This removes unnecessary paints in
+  animations with static periods.
+
+## [0.5.1]
+- Remove direct dependencies on dart:io to support Flutter Web
+
 ## [0.5.0]
 - Support loading animation from network in a web app
 - Fix a couple of bugs with the web dev compiler
