Document that quest markers are billboard sprites, not M2 models

Browse source 
In WoW 3.3.5a, quest markers are NOT M2 models. They are billboard
sprites using BLP textures:
- Interface\GossipFrame\AvailableQuestIcon.blp (yellow !)
- Interface\GossipFrame\ActiveQuestIcon.blp (silver ?)
- Interface\GossipFrame\IncompleteQuestIcon.blp (gray ?)

The M2 files (QuestGiver.m2, QuestExclamation.m2, etc.) don't exist
in retail WotLK MPQs - they're from fan projects or later expansions.

Proper implementation requires billboard sprite renderer with camera-
facing quads. For now, 2D ImGui markers continue to work.
