Default Idea for better handling of focus effect checks.

This is not meant for submission (yet) just some code I wrote that I wanted feedback on.

The objective is to improve the way we do focus checks.

Currently the way focus effects work is every time you cast a spell that can be effected by a particular foci the source checks all items/spells/aa for it, common spells like damage will do this about 8-10 times for every cast/proc. Overtime as more spell foci from live are added the amount of these checks will increase.

I thought it might streamline the process if we had a way to check if the focus effect existed at all on the client before iterating through all items/spells/aa to Get and Calculate the values every time a spell is cast/proc.

Below is written as such.

Added an array FocusEffects[HIGHEST_FOCUS] to bonuses struct
:: HIGHEST_FOCUS is the highest value from enum focusType
::Thus creating an array to hold each possible focus.

Added uint8 IsFocusEffect(int16 spellid, int effect_index);
::This returns focusType value that correlates to its Spell Effect
::This is placed in Mob::ApplySpellBonuses to be checked when its
iterating through all the effects in each spell to calculate other bonuses.
If the effect is a focus effect the value returned in IsFocusEffect will determine the position in the array FocusEffects with the value being the spell effect id.

Therefore we can now when running GetFocusEffect do a check
if (spellbonuses.FocusEffect[focusType]) exists before running the entire loop for the focus every time you cast a spell ect.

Bottom line
- Store a list of each focusType the client has when checking bonuses
so you can avoid unnecessarily checking every cast for effects that don't exist.

My question is if this is really any more efficient then how we are doing it?
