// create a circle using HTML5 / CSS3 / JS which has a border that only goes part-way around
// the circle .. and which can be smoothly animated from 0% to 100% around the circle
// this solution allows for animation and still results in relatively clean code
// we use four quarter-circles, all hidden away behind a white square to start with..
// all four are rotated out clockwise, and each quarter will stop at it's own maximum:
// q1 at 25%, q2 at 50% .. etc. once we reach a value at or over 25%, all four quarters
// should be out from behind the white square, and we can hide it.. it needs to be
// hidden if we display a value over 75%, or else q4 will end up going in behind it again
// .. also, since the top border will usually sit between the angles of -45 to 45, we
// rotate everything by an extra -45 to make it all line up with the top nicely
