palladinpala a8ec255a90 Add FPS display, make world latency opt-in, bump to 1.3

World latency never populates on OctoWoW (always 0), so it's now hidden
behind /octolat worldlatency instead of showing a misleading "0 ms".

Changelog

All notable changes to OctoLatency are documented in this file.

[Unreleased]

FPS display next to latency in the main frame and tooltip, color-coded (green ≥30, yellow 15-30, red <15), via GetFramerate().
/octolat worldlatency slash command to opt in to world latency display.

World latency is now hidden by default (tooltip shows N/A, status text always uses home latency) since many private-server cores (including OctoWoW) never populate it. Enable it with /octolat worldlatency on servers that do report it.
Widened the frame (90px → 150px) and status text (80px → 140px) to fit the added FPS text.

Drag could get permanently stuck following the cursor: OnMouseUp only fires while the mouse is still over the frame at the instant the button is released, which a quick flick of this small (90x24) frame easily misses. OnUpdate now polls IsMouseButtonDown("LeftButton") every frame and stops the drag as soon as the button is released, regardless of where the cursor ends up.

/octolat copyerrors, 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).
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).

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.
Status text no longer gets stuck at 0 ms on servers whose GetNetStats() never populates world latency: 0 is truthy in Lua, so the old worldLatency or homeLatency fallback never triggered. World latency is now only used when it's greater than 0, otherwise home latency is shown.
Frame's OnLoad/OnUpdate/OnMouseUp/OnHide scripts in OctoLatency.xml now check that the corresponding global function exists before calling it. Previously, if OctoLatency.lua failed to load for any reason, OnUpdate would throw attempt to call global 'OctoLatency_OnUpdate' (a nil value) on every single frame, flooding the chat frame badly enough to block Enter/chat input.

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.

Stuck drag state when the mouse button is released off-frame: dragging now also stops on OnHide, not just OnMouseUp.

Dead VARIABLES_LOADED event registration (no handler was ever attached to it).
