Search for globally available dictionaries

[DemonTPx]

When using GetAvailableDictionaries or SetDictionary, it will search in the given path or known locations where hunspell dictionaries are typically located (/usr/share/hunspell for example.)

This fixes #51 and #54.

No windows support yet I also added windows support!

I've used this script to test it out:

c = require ('./lib/spellchecker');

console.log(c.setDictionary('nl_NL', ''));
console.log(c.checkSpelling('kaas cheese dingen false'));
console.log(c.getCorrectionsForMisspelling('cheese'));
console.log(c.getCorrectionsForMisspelling('false'));

console.log(c.getAvailableDictionaries());

On my machine, this results in:

true
[ { start: 5, end: 11 }, { start: 19, end: 24 } ]
[ 'Heesch', 'Scheeres', 'schee', 'speeches' ]
[ 'valse', 'fase', 'falset', 'falie', 'malse', 'Kalse', 'Fasel' ]
[ 'nl_BE',
  'nl_NL',
  'en_US',
  'en_GB',
  'hyph_en_US',
  'hyph_en_CA',
  'hyph_ga_IE',
  'hyph_fi_FI',
  'hyph_id_ID' ]

Please note that I am not an experienced C++ programmer, so I might do some weird stuff. I'd love to know if anything seems weird and how to fix it.

Is there any chance this will be reviewed? Or should I also make a PR to the (bit more active) bdict branch?

I much prefer this change over the solution in the bdict branch, mostly because I don't want my app downloading dictionary files from the internet.

Hey, it seems this project is active at last! Any change this PR could be merged in as well? :)

[IsmaelMartinez]

Any update on this?
