Final Fantasy III: Summon This!

This patch adds normal functioning to the unused Summon command. It allows the player to not need a Magic or Lore command to use in battle.

Urgency: Low, maybe medium. Summon was an incomplete command, so it's hard to
say what was and wasn't going to be done with it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:

Summon was going to be used originally as a way to continuously summon espers in
battle. For whatever reason, the command was left incomplete and unused.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What this patch does:

A couple of things. If a character doesn't have a magic command, MP will still
be copied to the battle buffer, allowing you to use the espers.

Summon in battle should also behave based on normal battle paramters (sufficient
MP, being Imp'ed, silenced, etc).

Added table entries for Summon's command, which will jump to pre-existing code
to determine when it should and shouldn't be available.

If need be, you can use the assembly file to easily determine where the code
and data should go for v1.1 and the Japanese version.

As an added bonus, (and with a guilty conscience), Terii Senshi's Summon Aiming
fix was included. For those not in the know, it's a one-byte fix, at C2/4E49.

Note: The anti patch effectively removes this patch.
