NetworkAnimator not sending state to clients on connection

[fernando-cortez]

Description

When clients connect to host, they won't receive a packet containing the state of the host's version of NetworkAnimator. So, if the host's version of an animator has transitioned to a state that isn't the default state, the client won't be aware of that transition and so visual desyncs will naturally occur.

Reproduce Steps

1. Host a game where the host's player contains a NetworkAnimator, as well as an Animator component.
2. Transition to a new state on the host player.
3. Have a client join host.
4. Notice that on the client, the host's player is still in the Default state.

Actual Outcome

A client will not receive a state sync packet on connection, so the Animator component on the client is desynced.

Expected Outcome

NetworkAnimator should send Animator state on connection so that clients are synced when joining.
