dictionaries: switch to far more up-to-date JM(ne)dict (#8413)
The previous version of JMdict comes from 2009 and doesn't appear to work at all when trying to do basic lookups (likely due to some kind of encoding problem). In addition, the license information and sourcing was not really in line with the requirements specified by the JMdict license. This version is far more up-to-date and also includes synonym-based deinflection (though because KOReader has a Japanese plugin now, this is technically not necessary). Since there didn't exist a nicely-maintained place to download these dictionaries (because StarDict is not widely used for Japanese dictionaries), I've set up a personal GitHub repository where I've hosted them. Note that we're intentionally not pinning the commit hash because GitHub only recommends we use gh-pages for CDN purposes, and one of the requirements of the JMdict license is that you need to be able to update to later versions.
