docs(creature_addon): document how bytes1 is built - #1279
Conversation
The bytes1 section listed values without saying which byte each field lives in, so a value for anything not already listed could not be built. The note at the end covers the two values named `Hover mode`, neither of which is the hover tier.

- Line 65: Update the standFlags documentation entry to include the numeric
values or bit masks for the creep and untrackable flags, or link to their
authoritative definitions, while preserving the existing byte-2 shift formula.
- Around line 72-73: Update the paragraph describing animTier so it clearly
states that animTier controls only creature animation, while walking and flying
are determined by movement flags and hovering is controlled by the dedicated
hover setting or script action such as SMART_ACTION_SET_HOVER.
- Around line 68-70: Update the existing entry for bytes1 value 50331648 near
the animation-tier examples so it no longer identifies that value as Hover mode
2; align its label with the documented Fly tier (3 << 24), or explicitly
annotate the distinction if the entry represents a different context.

Document numeric masks for standFlags.
This line names creep and untrackable but does not provide their numeric values or bit masks. Readers cannot construct a non-zero standFlags value from the formula. Add the masks or link to their authoritative definitions.

Resolve the conflicting meaning of 50331648.
This section defines 50331648 as 3 << 24, which is animation tier Fly. Line [87] still labels the same value as Hover mode 2. Relabel or annotate the existing entry so readers do not receive two meanings for the same bytes1 value.

Separate hover control from animation tier.
The paragraph attributes walking, flying, and hovering to movement flags. docs/smart_scripts.md documents SMART_ACTION_SET_HOVER separately from SMART_ACTION_SET_UNIT_MOVEMENT_FLAGS. Clarify that animTier controls animation, while movement flags and the dedicated hover control govern movement behavior.
