i Wait a few seconds for capturing to render furnace flame

Hello Palats.
Thanks for the amazing mod.

I have a tiny improvement idea.
Having an option to delay capturing will make nicer look & feel for furnaces.

In CLI version, this mod try to capture as soon as the save file loaded.
But stone/steel/electric furnaces don't start to firing at that timing.
So, the generated map looks weird because no flame on furnaces.

I modified a bit for myself.

Thanks a lot! I've opened https://github.com/Palats/mapshot/issues/38 to track that.

I'm wondering what's going on here - I would have expected rendering of furnace flame to be mostly based on the state of the game - and given the deterministic nature of Factorio, extra delay would not matter. OTOH, maybe the flame is just some asynchronous cosmetic thing. Also, looking at my old example at https://mapshot.palats.xyz/?x=-51.4&y=-46.6&z=5.1 , there is actually a mix of on & off furnace - I imagine largely based on what the activity of the furnace is at this instant. I could also imagine that even a fully loaded furnace might have a single tick off here and there, in between getting rid of its content and loading more. I'll need to test a bit I think.
