Do not require component Animator on NetworkAnimator.

[jeffgamedev]

This PR removes the hard RequireComponent of Animator from component NetworkAnimator. The reason is that NetworkAnimator does not in fact require an Animator object to be on the game object, and functions just as well accessing a child game object's Animator.

The NetworkAnimator requires a reference to any Animator, not an Animator on the same game object. In the current implementation, this requires my Player game object to have an unused Animator attached due to the component being required.

Changelog

• Delete [RequireComponent(typeof(Animator))] on NetworkAnimator component.

Suggestions for the future

Allow NetworkAnimator to throw 1 warning if the Animator reference is empty instead of constantly throwing errors.
