Pull request overview

This PR addresses issue #6496 by refactoring Lua modules to avoid direct calls to mw.ext.TeamTemplate APIs, routing team lookups/display through Module:TeamTemplate and Module:OpponentDisplay/Custom instead.

Changes:

• Replaced mw.ext.TeamTemplate.* calls (e.g., teampage, raw, teamexists, team, teamicon) with TeamTemplate.* wrappers and OpponentDisplay.InlineTeamContainer.
• Adjusted infobox “favorite teams” rendering to return/render VNode arrays instead of concatenated wikitext strings.
• Updated Module:TeamTemplate helpers (e.g., getPageName signature, getRawOrNil empty-input handling) to support the new call patterns.
