Guileless Bopomofo Keyboard
* New optional English word prediction: turn it on in General settings, and while typing English in alphanumeric mode I suggest words above the keyboard. Swipe for more, tap one to fill it in. Suggestions come from a built-in word list, nothing you type is stored.
* Updated the build tools, Gradle, and Kotlin.
Thanks for using Guileless Bopomofo!
I have implemented most features of libchewing (https://chewing.im/), to provide you a choice of Bopomofo software keyboard (aka input method editor).
* Unlike other similar products, though I don't have fuzzy, error-tolerance design, I do still have ability to predict possible phrases by context, and I do remember phrases from your typing history automatically.
* Besides the most common "DaChen", I also provide you "Hsu", "E-Ten 26 keys", and "DaChen CP26" Bopomofo keyboard layouts.
* I also support physical keyboard input with the same layout options, so you can use a consistent Bopomofo experience across virtual and hardware keyboards.

* The keyboard no longer reloads itself every time you move to another text field. A form of short boxes, the six of a one time password say, used to rebuild it once per box.
* Holding the backspace key now deletes on the main thread, so a long press can no longer upset the engine.
* Tidied up a good deal of the code behind all of this, with more tests to keep it honest.
Thanks for using Guileless Bopomofo!
* Fixed emoji getting garbled while crossing between the app and the Chewing engine, so single-code-point emoji now display and store correctly in the candidate list and your user phrases. (#11)
* Updated the libchewing engine and refreshed the build dependencies and Rust toolchain.
