World of Ruin Dance backgrounds patch

Here's a neat little hack that adds more flavour to the Dance command. When you reach the World of Ruin, Dance will change the battlefield backgrounds into their WoR counterparts instead of the World of Balance backgrounds.

Wind Song: Dry land
Forest Nocturne: Brown forest
Desert Aria: Desert (WoR)
Love Sonata: Fanatic's Tower interior
Earth Blues: Kefka's Tower exterior
Water Rondo: (unchanged)
Dusk Requem: Blue/Purple caves (note: if you prefer the fiery red of the Phoenix Cave, change it to $2A!)
Snowman Jazz: (unchanged)

This patch only uses free space in bank D1 - it should be compatible with most other patches.
