Subject: [PATCH] fix: Prevent animation on first load and data refresh

The 'dropping to bottom of screen' effect was caused by ALL markers
animating on every data refresh, not just truly new events.

Root cause:
- On first plugin enable: previousQuakeIds/previousStrikeIds is empty
- Every marker looked 'new' and animated
- On data refresh (every 5 min): all markers recreated and animated
- Result: appeared as if markers were 'dropping' or 'falling'

Solution:
- Added isFirstLoad ref flag for both plugins
- First load: populate previousIds but DON'T animate
- Subsequent loads: only animate truly NEW events
- isNew = !isFirstLoad && !previousIds.has(id)

Behavior now:
- Enable plugin: Markers appear static (no animation)
- Wait 5 min refresh: Still static (no animation)
- NEW earthquake/strike detected: ONLY that one animates
- Result: Clean, professional, no 'dropping' effect

Applies to:
- Earthquakes: Fixed
- Lightning: Fixed
