Brues f296425c94 Cut per-call allocations in the event and publish paths; merge SPELL_CAST_EVENT
Chasing high memory churn (~188 kb/s with pfUI). Four allocation sources and one
correctness bug found along the way.

The recurring cause: in 1.12's Lua 5.0 a function declared `function(...)` builds
a fresh `arg` table on every call. Three handlers were declared that way and none
of them read the vararg.

- Compatibility/pfUI.lua: the registered action handler. This was the dominant
  one. UpdateAllManagedCooldowns fans ACTIONBAR_UPDATE_COOLDOWN across every
  managed slot (up to 120) on each SPELL_UPDATE_COOLDOWN, so every GCD and
  cooldown tick allocated ~120 tables that the handler then discarded, because
  its whole body only ever applied to ACTIONBAR_SLOT_CHANGED. Dropped the vararg
  and added an early return before any work. Bongos' and UltimaMacros' handlers
  were already vararg-free.

- Core.lua SendEventForAction: dropped the vararg (every caller passes exactly
  one extra value) and replaced the inline "arg" .. i concatenations -- 30 per
  call across three loops -- with a prebuilt name table. The eight-branch arg.n
  fan-out collapses to one loop.

- Core.lua Frame OnEvent dispatcher: dropped the vararg. It fires for all ~48
  registered events, including the UNIT_HEALTH / UNIT_AURA / UNIT_*_GUID streams.

PublishDisplay now skips no-op publishes. Publishing is not free: the client
repaints holders of the macro through its own notifier, which returns as
ACTIONBAR_SLOT_CHANGED -> ClearAction + IndexActionSlot -> TestForActiveAction ->
publish. Publishing an unchanged value therefore tore down and re-resolved slots
for nothing and fed itself, since GetAction and IndexActionSlot both publish on
paths that fire constantly. This was the C_Macro.SetMacroDisplay regression.

Also merges the two same-named SPELL_CAST_EVENT handlers. Lua assigns in file
order, so the later definition silently replaced the earlier one and its half
never ran: channel-start detection, spell_tracking cleanup, and cast-sequence
advancement. AdvanceSequence has only two callers and the other is inside
UNIT_CASTEVENT, which is registered only under SuperWoW -- so /castsequence had
no way to advance on a successful cast for Nampower-only users.
