Fix nil worldLatency tooltip error, add copy-errors UI, gradient title

- Fix OnEnter tooltip crash: attempt to concatenate local
  'worldLatency' (a nil value) when GetNetStats() hasn't populated
  latency yet (e.g. right after login/loading screen); fall back to 0
  like OctoLatency_UpdateText already does
- Add /octolat copyerrors and a minimap button opening a copy-errors
  window (auto-highlighted EditBox), since vanilla WoW chat text can't
  be selected/copied directly
- Minimap button also right-click toggles the latency frame and can be
  dragged to reposition
- Color the addon's title in the AddOns list with a per-letter
  dark-to-light green gradient
- Add CHANGELOG.md

# Changelog
All notable changes to OctoLatency are documented in this file.
## [Unreleased]
### Added
- `/octolat copyerrors` and a minimap button, both opening a copy-errors window: a multi-line `EditBox` pre-filled with the error log and auto-highlighted, so the text can be selected and copied with Ctrl+C (vanilla WoW's chat frame doesn't support text selection).
- Minimap button also right-click toggles the latency frame, and can be dragged to reposition around the minimap (position saved to `OctoLatencyDB.minimapAngle`).
- Colored addon title in the character-select AddOns list: `OctoLatency` now renders as a per-letter gradient from dark to light green (`## Title:` in `OctoLatency.toc`).
### Fixed
- Tooltip (`OnEnter`) no longer errors with `attempt to concatenate local 'worldLatency' (a nil value)`. `GetNetStats()` can return `nil` for latency/bandwidth briefly after login or a loading screen; the tooltip now falls back to `0` for `bandwidth`, `homeLatency`, and `worldLatency`, matching the fallback already used by the status text update.
## [1.0]
### Added
- Core addon: draggable frame showing world latency (falling back to home latency) with color-coded text (green < 150ms, yellow 150–350ms, red > 350ms), updated every 2 seconds.
- Tooltip on hover showing home latency, world latency, and bandwidth.
- `/octolat errors` slash command to view the last 20 logged errors in-game.
- `/octolat clearerrors` slash command to clear the error log.
- Error logging: tooltip/update/login handlers run through `pcall`, with failures recorded to `OctoLatencyDB.errorLog` (persisted in SavedVariables) and echoed to the chat frame instead of raising a Lua error popup.
### Fixed
- Stuck drag state when the mouse button is released off-frame: dragging now also stops on `OnHide`, not just `OnMouseUp`.
### Removed
- Dead `VARIABLES_LOADED` event registration (no handler was ever attached to it).

vanilla WoW's chat frame doesn't let you select/copy its text. The window
opens with the text already highlighted, so you can just press Ctrl+C.
- `/octolat clearerrors` — clear the error log.
There's also a minimap button for the same purpose without typing a command:
- **Left-click** — open the copy-errors window.
- **Right-click** — toggle the latency frame on/off.
- **Drag** — reposition the button around the minimap.
The log is also saved to your `SavedVariables` file, so it survives
logout/relog.
