Hack description

This patch is a fleshing-out of Master ZED's FF3 Dash Button hack (variant B) for FF3us.
It adds the ability to dash on the field by holding down the Cancel button
(normally the B button), and takes additional measures to keep the game's original difficulty intact.

The following features are inherited from Master ZED's FF3DashB:

The effect stacks with Sprint Shoes, similar to the PS1 version of FF6.

The effect is disabled during multi-party battles.

The following new features are added:

SilentEnigma's "Sliding Dash Fix" v1.1 is included. This fixes the graphical glitch normally seen in Master Zed's FF3DashB.

The configured Cancel button is used for dashing. This patch adapts to hacks of FF3us which allow the Cancel button to be customized.

During timed challenges, dashing will make the countdown timer run down at twice the normal rate. This is intended to preserve the game's original difficulty and strategic options.
