poire-z 1708fd5e1c Dictionary and wikipedia enhancements (#2393)
Stardict:
- remove duplicate results
- better cleaning of selection
- append results from a 2nd query of a 2nd set of dictionaries
  in data/dict_ext/

Wikipedia:
- use the search API for better results
- allow viewing the full page content of a result in a bigger window
- allow queries for multiple languages
- available languages can be set in settings.reader.lua :
    ["wikipedia_languages"] = {"en", "fr", "it"}
- "Wikipedia lookup" added to Tools menu

For both:
- allow selection of multiple words for a new lookup (so one can
  actually browse wikipedia)
- allow continuous reading with Tap
- display "current result / total number of results"

chrox 82393f0ed3 fix loading frontend/JSON.lua for json.lua on Kindle
The VFAT file system of `/mnt/us` is case insensitive so that
require("json") from Spore which intends to load luajson module in
rock directory actually will load `frontend/JSON.lua`, the two JSON
parser libraries have slightly different APIs.

This patch remove the pure Lua JSON library in favor of `luajson` which
uses LPeg pattern marching backend for better performance.

chrox 7b10d66e1b enable Wikipedia support
Since wikipedia server is language specific we should first detect
language of the text by querying Google Translate. Make sure you have
access to both Google Translate and Wikipedia service to use this
function.
