WeakAuras: Split Loaded/Standby section

TL;DR: If you want to move your standby-auras back down in the list, instead of having a combined "loaded/standby" section, take a look inside.

Ever since an update to the WeakAuras addon in late January, which introduced the third state "standby" (in addition to "loaded" and "not loaded"), all these standby-auras have been moved to the top section when opening the options.

Changes have been proposed to split the top section into two: a "loaded" and a "standby" section. These changes were discussed at length in a WA Discord Thread and already coded (see pull request 4894). The developers declined these changes, which I don't blame them for; it's their addon after all.

I won't however go as far as deleting "old" auras just so that the combined "loaded/standby" section is not so full of everything. That's why I forked the repo and opened a pull request, which can easily be used to patch the standard WeakAuras addon. Only requirement is an accessible git-Installation.

Up to date patch and instructions are available on GitHub.
