Animations: wire remaining effects + 2-column options panel

- Shared FX toolkit in fx-celebrate.lua: mth_shake tween type, MTH_FX_Flash
  glow helper, MTH_CelebrateRunaway red shaking banner, gold title reset.
- pet.runaway, pet.happiness, pet.loyaltyup, pet.feed
- combat.ammoswap, combat.rangedswap, combat.mmprocs
- ui.zbar, ui.stable, ui.minimapping, ui.optionsclose
- book.model, book.search
- Options > Animations panel now uses a balanced two-column layout.
- CHANGELOG Animations entry expanded (no version bump).
