Fix player castbar flashes

There are controls on the player castbar module for flashing when a spell succeeds or fails, and separate controls for flashing when an instant cast completes. Those were broken (flashing never happened), but now work again.

UpdateBar() was necessary in MyOnUpdate() in the event that no other spell has been cast (in order to set the alpha so that the bottom text displays). The spellId is being passed along so that spells that aren't currently being cast can have their name and icon displayed appropriately, and so the early-out for "no known spell" doesn't trigger (which allows the Flash to actually work). The self.current reset fixes instant casts after a normal cast (we were only clearing the "current" spell conditionally when we only meant to filter StopBar, so if it wasn't cleared, future successful casts thought they were for a different spell than was currently being cast.
