Add instance support: WDT parser, WMO-only map loading, area triggers, BG queue accept

- WDT parser detects WMO-only maps (dungeons/raids/BGs) via MPHD flag 0x01
- WMO-only loading branch in loadOnlineWorldTerrain loads root WMO directly
- Area trigger system: loads AreaTrigger.dbc, checks player proximity, sends CMSG_AREATRIGGER
- BG queue acceptance via /join command sending CMSG_BATTLEFIELD_PORT
- SMSG_INSTANCE_DIFFICULTY handler stub
- Map change cleanup (clear old WMO/M2/terrain on map transfer)
- 5-second area trigger cooldown after map transfer to prevent ping-pong loops
