Plate-o-Matic - Patch Notes

Fixed:
- Fixed a Lua error in WoW 12.0.5 / Midnight:
  hooksecurefunc(): CompactUnitFrame_UpdateAuras is not a function

Changed:
- Added safer Blizzard hook handling for internal CompactUnitFrame functions.
- POM now checks if a Blizzard function exists before trying to hook it.
- Missing or renamed Blizzard internal functions no longer stop the addon from loading.

Aura handling:
- CompactUnitFrame_UpdateAuras is now treated as optional.
- If the function exists, POM hooks it and updates aura scaling/tooltips normally.
- If the function does not exist, POM skips that hook safely.
- Aura tooltip attachment still runs through normal nameplate refresh paths.

Why:
- WoW 12.0.5 changed parts of Blizzard's CompactUnitFrame internals.
- Some old global helper functions are no longer guaranteed to exist.
- Directly hooking missing Blizzard functions caused a hard Lua error.

Result:
- POM loads correctly in WoW 12.0.5.
- The addon is more resistant to future Blizzard UI/API changes. I hope :D
