nameplates: source totem icons from UnitCreatedBySpell

Read the totem's icon from the totem-drop spell (UnitCreatedBySpell +
GetSpellTexture) instead of the self-aura at index 1 plus a
UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED capture for active totems. The drop spell is a
broadcast descriptor field present for every summoned unit in range, so
it resolves immediately for passive and active totems alike and gives the
totem's own icon rather than the attack-spell proxy. Drops the
UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED registration and handler.

Re-read the spell each render and key the cached texture on the spell id
so an in-place totem swap (same unit, new drop spell -- no plate re-add)
refreshes the icon without needing the plate to leave and re-enter view.

-- Totem icon, read straight from the game:
