fix: tighten addon message detection to avoid suppressing regular chat

The tab-based addon message detection was too aggressive — any chat
message containing a tab character was treated as an addon message
and silently dropped from regular chat display. This could suppress
legitimate player messages containing tabs (from copy-paste).

Now only matches as addon message when:
- Chat type is PARTY/RAID/GUILD/WHISPER/etc. (not SAY/YELL/EMOTE)
- Prefix before tab is <=16 chars (WoW addon prefix limit)
- Prefix contains no spaces (addon prefixes are identifiers)

This prevents false positives while still correctly detecting addon
messages formatted as "DBM4\ttimer:start:10".
