Make auto-combat target summoners instead of summons

[ManMan]

Tabbing through a summoner only to realize that auto-combat is attacking a tanky "dangerous" adjacent summon instead of the squishy adjacent summoner is quite frustrating. My suggestion is to modify the auto-combat algorithm with something along the lines of the following (in pseudo-code):

  Code:

choose target of attack using current auto-combat algorithm;
if (target is summoned) and (target's summoner is within range):
    attack summoner;
else:
    attack target;

Here "summoner is within range" means adjacent for melee weapons (except perhaps polearms) and means within line of effect for ranged weapons. This is an obvious tactic that every reasonable player uses against summoners and therefore should be included in the auto-combat algorithm.

It would be also a neat excuse to change UI so that it shows which monsters were summoned by which summoner. Especially useful in Elf and against boggart packs, among others.
