feat(modules): add Broadcast Filter to hide Ascension Autobroadcast spam
release / release (push) Successful in 3s

New Chatter module registers a ChatFrame message filter that suppresses chat
lines matching a configurable list (default: 'Ascension Autobroadcast'). Matches
case-insensitively against the message body and every string arg, so it catches
the named-channel autobroadcast where the label is the channel name, not the
body. Editable list in the module's options; enabled by default.
