Support for Double or Nothing puzzles #22

Closed jpd236 closed 2 years ago

Example: https://www.ariespuzzles.com/2021/09/double-or-nothing-2.html

JPZ files shouldn't have problems with squares with blank solutions. The experience isn't perfect by any means, but it seems reasonable enough.

In each app, you can enter solutions and check/reveal work as expected.

In XWord, the completion status percentage is naturally incorrect (it counts blank squares as unentered), but once the grid is correctly entered, it does indicate that the puzzle is fully solved. Also, if strict rebus checking is disabled, you can even enter a "/" in the blank squares and have it treat them as blank.

Now supported at https://jpd236.github.io/kotwords/crossword.html (which https://jpd236.github.io/kotwords/across-lite.html will now redirect to). Double or Nothing puzzles are just normal crosswords with either rebus entries or blank entries (which the form supports by inputting "-").
