A hotfix for arcane elemental summons

The "psychic struggle" to control arcane elemental summons (Conjure Air Elemental and similar spells) is broken. You can select the elemental while that struggle is going on and issue orders. Then the elemental stops what you told it to do, stares at the summoner, and restarts its side of the struggle. If you issue orders repeatedly this way, the elemental may never properly complete the struggle to become fully controllable or hostile. It's quite easy to cause this problem by accident; something as simple as hitting the "select all" button and issuing a group move or attack command will do it.
This hotfix prevents the issue by making the elemental unselectable while the struggle is in progress. It's still technically possible to break the script, but you have to do weird things with that specific intent, to your own detriment.
This fix should be in the EE Fixpack when that mod comes out. Until then, here's a hotfix suitable for BGEE and BG2EE.
