Reworks all equipment stats and materia slots.

Weapons all have 1 additional independent slot, and now cap out at 3 linked pairs and an unlinked slot, for a total of 7 slots.
Armors mostly have an additional linked pair. Some armors have more or less added than that. Many armors now have a full 8 slots.

Additionally, armors now provide more defense. The formulas for attack and defense in this game heavily favor attack. 1 point of Strength or Magic provides 2 points of Attack or Magic Attack, whereas 1 point of Vitality or Spirit provides 1 point of Defense or Magic Defense. Then on top of that Attack is doubled in the damage formula before Defense is accounted for. Making the offensive stats 4 times as effective as defensive stats. This change should make higher level combat less swingy.

Weapons also had their stats slightly tweaked, but not to the extent that armors did.
