Event handling broken since Grafana 8 introduced React

[amotl]

Hi there,

since Grafana 8 introduced React, grafanimate is having a hard time to properly synchronize with the frontend in order to capture frames efficiently. More information can be found at ¹.

With kind regards,
Andreas.

@intermittentnrg apparently found a solution for newer versions of Grafana, and submitted GH-19, reflecting that. Thanks a stack!

The code just invokes grafanaRuntime.getPanelData() and checks the result items for state=='Done', without further ado. It could have been so easy! ;]

It is still a synthesized event handling, but much better than waiting for unknown amounts of time through the currently implemented exposure-time option.

this was fixed in #32
