Feature - Implemented Add skill type field(s) to proxy records

In the "classskills.txt" data file, one of the fields (an integer) contains an integer identifying the skill category:

Code:
// int: skill type
// 0 - passive          not castable
// 1 - summon           castable, oft limited, 1st pref
// 2 - restore          not used here
// 3 - self-only buff   castable, 2nd pref
// 4 - buff             castable, 3rd pref
// 5 - combat           not castable

The above is from my comments in a mana-burning routine. Such a script would generally want to include types 1, 3, and 4, but exclude types 0, 2, and 5.

Here are the available fields:

> ash $skill[timberwolf]

Returned: Snarl of the Timberwolf
level => -1
traincost => 0
class => Seal Clubber
libram => false
passive => false
buff => false
combat => false
permable => true

We have fields to identify types 0, 4, and 5 but not to identify types 1, 2, and 3. Thus, at present I still need to parse the data file.

I'd like to request that all of the above info be available somehow. Whether that takes the form of more boolean fields for "summon", "restore", and "self", or an integer field "skilltype" or somesuch that simply returns the above number -- so long as that info is available in the proxy record fields I'm happy. :)
