marktracking: filter to the mark tokens and idle when solo

UNIT_HEALTH/UNIT_MAXHEALTH register through RegisterUnitEvent for mark1
through mark8, so the scanner stops waking for every unit in the world. Eight
tokens is past the four other clients accept; ClassicAPI takes as many as it
is given, so this file is fork-only.

That makes arg1 always one of eight known strings, so the handler looks the
row index up in a table built alongside markerTokens, instead of running
string.match + tonumber -- which allocated a capture and parsed it on every
health tick of every marked unit.

The fallback poll was the larger cost and the filtering did not touch it: a
full eight-row rebuild once a second for the whole session, whether or not a
marker existed anywhere. Raid markers are a group feature, so the scanner now
watches PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED / RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE and creates or cancels the
ticker with group membership -- outside a group no timer is queued at all,
rather than one waking every second to return early. It is deliberately not
keyed on a mark being visible: a marker set on a unit that is out of range
shows no row, and that is precisely the case the poll exists to catch.

The mark-token capability probe at the top goes too. ClassicAPI is a hard
dependency, so the tokens are always there to resolve.
