Subject: Suggested improvements for TagsDatabase.lua

Hi, here are some enhancements I made to Core/Config/TagsDatabase.lua in the health tag methods. Feel free to use or ignore any of them.

Changes made:

1. Localized status text for Dead & Offline
Replaced hardcoded "Dead" and "Offline" with WoW global strings so they auto-localize:

local deadText = DEAD or "Dead"
local offlineText = PLAYER_OFFLINE or "Offline"

2. AFK / DND appended as suffix instead of replacing health
Previously AFK and DND replaced the health value entirely (same as Dead/Ghost/Offline). Changed them to append as a suffix after health text, e.g. 123K (暂离) / 123K (勿扰):

local statusSuffix = UnitIsAFK(unit) and (" ("..(AFK or "AFK")..")") or UnitIsDND(unit) and (" ("..(DND or "DND")..")") or ""

3. Added UNIT_FLAGS to health tag events
So tags refresh when AFK/DND status changes:

["curhp:abbr"] = "UNIT_HEALTH UNIT_MAXHEALTH UNIT_FLAGS",
["curhpperhp"] = "UNIT_HEALTH UNIT_MAXHEALTH UNIT_FLAGS",
["curhpperhp:abbr"] = "UNIT_HEALTH UNIT_MAXHEALTH UNIT_FLAGS",

4. Added PLAYER_FLAGS_CHANGED handler
Since UNIT_FLAGS doesn't fire for the player's own AFK/DND changes, added a standalone handler at the bottom:

local afkDndFrame = CreateFrame("Frame")
afkDndFrame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_FLAGS_CHANGED")
afkDndFrame:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
    for unit in pairs(UUF.db.profile.Units) do
        local frame = UUF[unit:upper()]
        if frame and frame.UpdateTags then
            frame:UpdateTags()
        end
    end
end)

Things to discuss with you:

• Feign Death (UnitIsFeignDeath()) – currently left in the code as UnitIsFeignDeath(unit) and "Feign Death". However, this API only returns valid data for friendly units; hostile units always show false.
• Ghost – there's no WoW global string for ghost status (unlike DEAD/PLAYER_OFFLINE/AFK/DND). Currently using hardcoded "Ghost". Any idea for a localized alternative, or is hardcoded English fine?

Let me know if you'd like a clean diff instead.
