cangjie-source: the dictionary to be used by cangjie.

Its value can be:

• a path, which makes cangjie read from that path if it's a valid RIME dictionary.
• 'rime, to download the dictionary from https://github.com/rime/rime-cangjie, and save it for future use.
• wiktionary-raw, to output the line with the Cangjie code on the character's Wiktionary page,
• 'wiktionary, or anything else, to grep the Wiktionary page like 'wiktionary-raw, then try to remove the markup in the result, leaving just the Cangjie code.

Credits

This is the first standalone Emacs package I've written, so I needed some directions. emacs-powerthesaurus and define-word served as really good references for me to follow.

I'm using the Cangjie dictionary from RIME, rime-cangjie.
