• TOC bump
• Fixed issue with width/height mixup and the sizing logic now works properly.
• Fixed bug with :find that could fail if a invalid pattern was provided.
  Hard-coded the emote size in the frame as it's not dynamic and it is not prone to the fontstring sizing issues.
  You can search for package or folder name along with the tag "animated".
• TOC bump
• Library markup function takes in args for keepInside and keepLargeEnough for more size control.
  Using a new function GetMarkupForEmote for all markup related purposes, for better control how the markup is created.

• • Fixed animation logic and things seem to animate as expected.
    • Moved the markup and dynamic height logic into a helper function on the emote itself.
• Fine tuned and prepared animation code and data structure, things work well now and play smoothly.
  There are quirks like the hover tooltip not working if the text line has animation emotes combined with stationary, due to the nature of the replacement.
  Overall it works, it's smoot hand seems performance friendly, if my own testing is to be trusted.

• It's enough to check IsVisible when considering if the region is shown and visibly on screen. Added more checks to avoid updating invisible widgets.

• • Added a lot of nil checks and param type ignores when applicable.
    • Drafted animation support system to allow us to fake-animate things by updating the fontstring every frame, and progress the image used. This needs to be a opt-in feature due to CPU cost associated with this functionality.
