audio: stop precast sound on spell completion, failure, or interrupt
...
Add AudioEngine::playSound2DStoppable() + stopSound() so callers can
hold a handle and cancel playback early. SpellSoundManager::playPrecast()
now stores the handle in activePrecastId_; stopPrecast() cuts the sound.
playCast() calls stopPrecast() before playing the release sound, so the
channeling audio never bleeds past cast time. SMSG_SPELL_FAILURE and
SMSG_CAST_FAILED both call stopPrecast() so interrupted casts silence
immediately.
