reader: implement language-support plugin system This creates a new plugin system which hooks into a handful of reader operations in order to allow plugins to add language-specific support where the default reader falls short. The two hooks added are: * During hold-without-pan taps, language plugins can modify the selection in order to better match what users expect koreader to highlight when selecting a single word. The vast majority of CJK language words are more than one character, but KOReader treats all CJK characters as a single word by default, so adding this hook means that readers no longer need to manually select the whole word every time they need to look something. * During dictionary lookup, language plugins can propose alternative candidate words to look up if the selected word could not be found in the dictionary. This is pretty necessary for Japanese and Korean, both of which are highly agglutinative languages and the fuzzy searching system of StarDict is simply not usable because often the inflection of the word is so much longer than the dictionary form that sdcv decides to chop off the actual word and search for the inflection (which yields useless results). This system is of particular interest for readers of CJK languages (without this, looking up words using KOReader was fairly painful) but this system is designed to be minimal and language-agnostic enough that other languages could make use of it by creating their own plugins if the default "whole word" highlight and fuzzy-search system doesn't match their needs.

to European languages to "just work".
This was originally designed to improve KoReader's Japanese support through the
Japanese plugin (plugins/japanese.koplugin) but it should be generic enough for
other language plugins to build off this framework. Examples of languages which
may require such a plugin include highly inflected/agglutinative languages
(Japanese and Korean) and languages where spaces are not used as a delimiting
character between words (Japanese and Chinese) and languages that use a
character set where KoReader's dependencies define a "word" as being a single
character.
This module works by providing a mechanism to define a series of callbacks (not
unlike UI Events) which are called during operations where language-specific
knowledge may be necessary (such as during text selection and dictionary lookup
of a text fragment).

Registers a new language-specific plugin with given language_code.
If a plugin using the same language code already exists, the loading is
skipped. The language code is used to prioritise which language plugin should
be called first (if that plugin fails to handle the text, there is no such
plugin, or the document has no language defined then all of the plugins are
called one-by-one until one succeeds).
The follow handlers are defined (if you wish to support the handler create the
corresponding onHandler method):
- WordSelection (onWordSelection) is called when a highlight is
first created and can be used to modify the default "word boundary" word
selection to match user expectations.
Note that "XPointer" is used here but code written should take it as an
opaque object and only use the given callbacks since in future this feature
may work with PDFs and all of the XPointers will instead be PDF equivalents.
Called with {
pos0 = [XPointer], pos1 = [XPointer],
callbacks = {
-- Equivalent to document:getPrevVisibleChar(pos).
get_prev_char_pos(pos: XPointer) -> XPointer,
-- Equivalent to document:getNextVisibleChar(pos).
get_next_char_pos(pos: XPointer) -> XPointer,
-- Equivalent to document:getTextFromXPointers(pos0, pos1).
get_text_in_range(pos0: XPointer, pos1: XPointer) -> string,
}
} table as the only argument.
Must return the new (pos0, pos1) XPointers or nil if the word couldn't be
expanded.
- WordLookup (onWordLookup) is called when a dictionary lookup is triggered on
some text and can be used to adjust the word such that it is in the
dictionary form and can be found in the dictionary. This is primarily useful
for languages where StarDict "fuzzy searching" is not usable.
Called with
{ text = [string] }
table as the only argument.
Must return an array of candidate words (in decreasing order of preference)
which will be looked up or nil if no candidate words could be generated.
Note that if more than one candidate is found in the dictionary they will
all be displayed to the user. It is not necessary to include the original
word in the candidate list -- it will always be given highest priority.
@param Plugin to register (plugin.name is used as the internal name and must not be nil or "").
@treturn bool Whether the plugin was successfully registered.

reader: implement language-support plugin system This creates a new plugin system which hooks into a handful of reader operations in order to allow plugins to add language-specific support where the default reader falls short. The two hooks added are: * During hold-without-pan taps, language plugins can modify the selection in order to better match what users expect koreader to highlight when selecting a single word. The vast majority of CJK language words are more than one character, but KOReader treats all CJK characters as a single word by default, so adding this hook means that readers no longer need to manually select the whole word every time they need to look something. * During dictionary lookup, language plugins can propose alternative candidate words to look up if the selected word could not be found in the dictionary. This is pretty necessary for Japanese and Korean, both of which are highly agglutinative languages and the fuzzy searching system of StarDict is simply not usable because often the inflection of the word is so much longer than the dictionary form that sdcv decides to chop off the actual word and search for the inflection (which yields useless results). This system is of particular interest for readers of CJK languages (without this, looking up words using KOReader was fairly painful) but this system is designed to be minimal and language-agnostic enough that other languages could make use of it by creating their own plugins if the default "whole word" highlight and fuzzy-search system doesn't match their needs.
