[FEATURE] - Add cross-faction trade/buffing outside of group about mod-faction-free HOT 3 CLOSED

So cross-faction trading and follow outside of a group is a no go. Looking through other Git issues for the main distros (Azerothcore, Trinity, Mangos) this is something that was coded into the client.exe apparently back in TBC at some point. So if this were purely Vanilla, maybe, but since it is now in WOTLK looks like this isn't possible without like an open source client being built. I'll look into the buffing, but that may be the same.

Looking more into this, to cast spells on players of opposite faction outside of your group, this may cause a LOT of unintended behavior. Within the targets you can pick for a spell you do have TARGET_UNIT_TARGET_ALLY or TARGET_UNIT_TARGET_ENEMY typically for buffs/damage accordingly. There does NOT seem to be a TARGET_UNIT_TARGET_PLAYER so I think if we open up the ability to heal/buff/etc players outside the faction, it will result in also being able to accidently drop a heal on a boss mid fight... I'll look into it a bit more but do not think this one is going to be doable.

Going to close this and transfer to a new feature request.

Trade is not possible as that is prohibited by the hard faction check within the client.exe. No way around this, must be in a group and leveraging the AllowTwoSides features in the worldserver.conf file.

The spell one may still be plausible. Will add more details on that one.
