Subject: [PATCH] Route the link battle's opening line through its real ROM
 text

LinkBattle.lua's "%s wants\nto fight!" intro was a plain Lua literal,
even though the comment right above it already named the real label
(_TrainerWantsToFightText). The battle object built at this point is
already a BattleState, so this reuses its self:romText convenience
method rather than requiring the module-level helper separately.
