Subject: [PATCH] Fix totem casts erroring when a totem's cooldown was never
 read

GetTotemDurationAndHealth reads the totem description from tooltip line 5.
When that line was empty it returned only duration and health, so the
three-value assignment in ScanTotems left the rank's Cooldown nil, and
dropping that totem failed in ActivateTotem with
"COE_TotemLogic.lua:776: attempt to compare number with nil".

- Always return duration, health and cooldown.
- When line 5 is empty, read the description from the last tooltip line.
  It moves up when the tooltip is shorter, e.g. without the "Tools:" line
  while the totem item is not in the item cache.
- Clear line 5 before SetSpell so a shorter tooltip cannot reuse the
  previous totem's text.
