Implement hard mode, plus customization

game:
- New flag `--hard`: Select from 3 levels of difficulty:
  - Greenie: only check greens
  - Hard: classic Wordle* hard mode
  - Grayless: All hints are checked, even gray letters
- New flag: `--nokeyboard` disables the keyboard
- Improved customization:
  - Box characters, colors, and keyboard layouts moved into wordlists!
  - Support for non-English alpha characters to be determined. It should work though, I think.
  - Most things are no longer hardcoded! The main function is still a bit of a spaghetti mess right now, though. To be fixed!

dummy:
- New customization parameters:
  - `"boxes"`: Strings to be printed when assembling the share string (from least to most significant order)
  - `"colors"`: Text colors, to be printed on-screen. Order: Gray, Yellow, Green, Text Color, Keyboard background
  - `"keyboard"`: The keyboard layout. One string per line, of keyboard.
