Shadowling Shock Immunity

Description
This mod fixes the issue where player's shadowling minions easily trigger an endless chain effect of charged bolts whenever they are afflicted with the shock effect, by making all shadowlings immune to shock. Note, this doesn't make them immune to electric damage or the charged shock bolts released by player and other pets. It's still possible to suffer from this phenomenon due to other pets, but now shadowlings will absorb effects of the shock(charged orbs) instead of spreading them.

Since most of Engineer's minions cannot be targeted by enemies, this is a sound addition to game balance.

UPDATE: My previous methods to grant shock immunity proved to be ineffective after all, so please make sure to update to the latest version! You might notice the version increasing by double digits, that's because I tried a huge variety of different things to make this work correctly. Feature such as this sounds simple, but is apparently very difficult to implement unless I have missed something crucial on my hours of research.

Technical details for those interested: There seemingly isn't a way to make something immune to elemental effects without making them immune to the damage itself(correct me if I'm wrong) and the contraction of elemental effects seems to be as good as hardcoded in the game.
So what this mod now does, is that the shock effect is removed from shadowlings upon any combat transaction, for example when they are hit which is the exact same way the charged bolts from SHOCK effect proc in the first place.

The areas of the editor I had to touch were largely undocumented, so I had a bit of a rocky start with the mod(sorry for that). I believe things should be in working order now, but please remain vigilant around monsters that cause shock effects.
