Changing bug summary.

The battle system currently tracks whether a battle participant is dead (HP <=
0) and whether they are visible. There are various messy inconsistant checks
against these, which affect various in-battle behaviour.

For example:

1) An enemy with the "unescapable" bitset is turned on does not prevent the
player from running away if it is non-visible because of performing a "jump"
type attack

2) A hero or enemy who is jumping can be targetted by "Ally Including Dead" attacks.

There are probably other symptoms of this problem too.

There needs to be a more consistant mechanism of tracking the status of a battle
paricipant, which can distinguish between dead and jumping and otherwise
non-visible targets. The addition of a jumping() bit array is probably appropriate.
