This change adds support for using LibCasterCasterino to get your
target's casting info to enable the TargetCast module. It's not as
clean as the newer retail native calls but works well enough for
most interrupts.
Note: because LibCasterCasterino is using combat log events to get
casting info if a spell cast starts and is immediately cancelled or
interrupted the log may not get updated and the cast bar will zombie
complete.

This has been tested on Classic with a Rogue up to level 5 using various modules and casually checked against a few level 1 classes. I'm sure there's a lot more to do here. I also made sure to test on Live.
Where possible I tried to check for API availability rather than specific client versions or program IDs. There are many cases where that's impractical, however, so version/program ID checks were used.
This was tested with:
* Ace3 @r1225
* AceGUI-3.0-SharedMediaWidgets @r61
* LibDBIcon-1.0 @v8.2.0
* LibDogTag-3.0 @v80200.1
* LibDogTag-Unit-3.0 @v80200.1-2-g93a898d-alpha
* LibRangeCheck-2.0 @v4.2.3 (with a couple of local changes)
* LibSharedMedia-3.0 @r113-alpha
All the spellcasting event callbacks need their signatures changed, but I can't cleanly do that without breaking Legion compatibility. So that will have to wait, I think. Castbars seem to be working for now...
The simplest solution is probably to register different callbacks for BfA versus pre-BfA, but that seems ugly.
Updated for:
- SPELL_POWER_* constants becoming Enum.PowerType.*
- Rank no longer existing in return values for UnitAura, UnitBuff, UnitDebuff, UnitCastingInfo, UnitChannelInfo
- UNIT_POWER event becoming UNIT_POWER_UPDATE
- UnitPopupFrames no longer existing
- Removed events: PLAYER_PET_CHANGED, UNIT_MAXPOWER, PET_BAR_CHANGED, UNIT_DYNAMIC_FLAGS
- Texture return value from UnitAura type changing (name -> id)
- All Warlock specializations using soul shards
- Death Knight rune changes
Haven't tested all classes/specializations yet, so I'm sure I missed some stuff.
Probably need to add support for the new circular cooldown wipe flourish added in the base client.
Saw a problem with cooldown flashes being delayed on DK runes becoming available that probably need to be fixed.
Looks like some things changed in spellcast events on 7.0 which necessitate using the spellcast GUID to identify when a specific cast starts or stops. Now we use those GUIDs which restores the castbar to its appropriate behavior. (ticket #215)
UNIT_SPELLCAST_SENT is now firing at the same time as UNIT_SPELLCAST_START which is when the client receives confirmation that a spell s/he wanted to cast has begun casting (as opposed to pre-7.0 when _SENT would fire when the client pressed the button before receiving confirmation). As per http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showpost.php?p=314818&postcount=31, I'm now hooking CURRENT_SPELL_CAST_CHANGED to give us a slight chance of acquiring lag info. Unfortunately that event fires for just about every casting-related thing that happens (with no context/useful args at all), so we get a proper lag indicator for the initial cast, but nothing once we start chaining casts together. I guess this is something to keep an eye on as 7.0 nears release.
- reduced cpu usage by 33%-50% across the board (and more in some cases) by changing how updates are registered and how often they run. now the 'update period' slider actually matters. it defaults to 0.033 meaning that frames update about 30 times a second instead of every frame
- fixed the "always" display mode for cooldown bars to respect alpha settings (ooc/with target/in combat/etc.)
- colorized the FAQ and Module Settings description text to be more readable
- removed custom coloring from certain options that didn't match the rest
- hid a few debug-only settings
- consolidated all the 'create custom module' buttons into a drop-down + create button
- clarified description of some options so that their intent/purpose is more clear
- moved around/cleaned up headers for consistency
- doubled the width of long options so that they don't get cut off and ...'d
- the ace3 conversion also broke the dependence on Waterfall and gave a much better configuration screen through AceConfigDialog; plus Waterfall is very broken in Cataclysm and it's unclear whether anyone will bother to fix it or not
- fixed a bug with the custom CD bar when changing profiles where it would generate endless errors until a reloadui
- removed DewDrop library as it was no longer in use
- temporarily removed FuBar plugin as it doesn't work as a mixin with AceAddon-3. i will eventually be bringing this back in some form (before the next full release version)
- removed an unused 'about' button on the config page and some empty headers...not sure why they were ever there
- changed how frames are shown and hidden so we don't call show/hide unnecessarily
- widened the min/max offset numbers to allow greater placement flexibility
