Create a new API so that the application is not limited to 1000 requests per day. #2

The free Merriam-Webster Dictionary API which can be viewed here https://dictionaryapi.com/ only allows 1000 requests per day. This is the API that the application uses and it may be a future limitation of the application.

It would be great if there is an unlimited API that the application can use to gather synonym data. I might do this myself after studying Node.js.

Please see what kind of data the application receives through the fetchSynonyms route.

This issue will also remove the application's dependency to use Netlify Functions.
