fix(libs): degrade gracefully on over-long AceComm prefix (#12)

Browse Source 
A third-party addon (e.g. AtlasLoot) registers an AceComm prefix longer
than the client's 16-character limit. Because Questie's bundled AceComm is
the LibStub winner and its xpcall polyfill wraps AceAddon's OnEnable, the
upstream hard error() in RegisterComm surfaced as a recurring Lua error at
every login (seen on ChromieCraft).

The prefix can never work on the client regardless, so RegisterComm now
warns once and skips the registration for over-long prefixes instead of
throwing, leaving the calling addon's OnEnable intact and removing the
error popup.

### Bug Fixes
- **[Libs/AceComm - Long Comm Prefix Login Error]** (#12) Fixed a recurring login Lua error `AceComm:RegisterComm(...): prefix length is limited to 16 characters` on servers like ChromieCraft. The cause is a third-party addon (e.g. AtlasLoot) registering an AceComm prefix longer than the client's 16-character limit; because Questie's bundled AceComm is the LibStub winner and its `xpcall` polyfill wraps AceAddon's `OnEnable`, the upstream hard `error()` surfaced through Questie's frames every login. Our bundled `AceComm:RegisterComm` now degrades gracefully for over-long prefixes (which can never work on the client anyway): it warns once and skips the registration instead of throwing, so the offending addon's `OnEnable` is no longer aborted and the error popup is gone.
- **[Tracker - VoiceOver questPlayButtons Nil Crash]** (#15) Fixed `attempt to index field 'questPlayButtons' (a nil value)` in `TrackerUtils:UpdateVoiceOverPlayButtons` and `TrackerLinePool.SetAllPlayButtonAlpha`. `TrackerUtils:IsVoiceOverLoaded` only checked that the VoiceOver addons were loaded, but some VoiceOver builds (seen on Elune) expose a `QuestOverlayUI` without a `questPlayButtons` table. It now also verifies `VoiceOver.QuestOverlayUI.questPlayButtons` exists; since every play-button call site gates on this function, the integration is now safely skipped instead of crashing on those builds.
- **[Libs/AceGUI - Tree Tooltip Nil Crash]** (#15) Hardened `AceGUIContainer-TreeGroup` against `attempt to index ... 'tooltip' (a nil value)` when a conflicting addon registers a broken `AceGUI-3.0` core (observed in the wild as version `1.#INF`) that wins LibStub but never creates the shared `AceGUI.tooltip` frame. The tree button enter/leave handlers now lazily (re)create the tooltip frame; the widget version was bumped 47→48 so the fixed widget wins registration over an unpatched same-version copy.
- **[Tooltip - Learner Spawn Data Never In Main Tooltip]** Learner spawn/kill data is no longer added inline to the main NPC tooltip under any setting. Previously, with the "Use secondary learner tooltip" option off, `_AddLearnedSpawnTooltipLine` appended the lines directly to `GameTooltip`. The toggle now gates the data entirely: on = shown in the separate secondary frame, off = not shown anywhere. Removed the now-unused `_AddTooltipSeparator` helper and updated the option description. (Complements the earlier System A suppression that kept the duplicate learner lines out of the main tooltip.)
