Advanced RP Name Formatting

Eavesdropper can replace standard character names with their respective RP names across the entire UI.
This formatting applies to all Eavesdropper windows (History, Dedicated, and Group) and can optionally be enabled for the main chat window.

Supported Situations:

Blizzard Emotes: Replaces names in emotes like /point, /wave, or /bow.
Rolls: Shows RP names in /roll results.
NPC Dialogue: Replaces your name when NPCs speak to you in chat (/say, /whisper, etc.).
Quest Text: Seamlessly integrates with Dialogue UI to show your RP name during quest interactions.

Note: This feature requires your client to have the player's RP data cached (via MSP) before the replacement can occur.
