auras: scan through GetAuraSlots instead of by-index loops

Every aura scan loop (unit frame buffs/debuffs, dispel indicators, buff and
custom indicators, player buff frame, buffwatch bars, tooltip buff row) now
enumerates a unit's auras once with C_UnitAuras.GetAuraSlots and reads each
aura by slot id via the positional C_UnitAuras.UnitAuraBySlot. The by-index
getters re-walk the aura array from slot 0 on every call, so a per-button
loop over them was quadratic in the aura count; one enumeration plus a
by-slot read per aura is linear.

pfUI.api.ScanAuraSlots(unit, filter, buf, max) wraps GetAuraSlots' fill-a-
table form (table as the 5th argument) so no vararg Lua frame is involved:
Lua 5.0 allocates an `arg` table for every vararg call, which showed up as
nameplate OnUpdate/OnEvent memory growth in the first cut of this change.

Single by-index reads in tooltip and click handlers are unchanged (one call
each, and SetUnitAura takes the same index).

Requires the ClassicAPI build that adds GetAuraSlots' fill form; on an older
DLL the 5th argument is ignored and ScanAuraSlots would read the first slot
id as the count.
