Refactoring effort

[svhawkins]

Currrent code can be done better, you've gotten better at Python since you originally wrote it (more than a year ago). Can be done by doing the following:

• Go through the # TODO, # FIXME, and # BUG comments and resolve them
• Add testing fixtures and unit tests using pytest for modules:
  • verb_utils.py
  • conjugator_utils.py
  • verbs.py
  • conjugator.py
• Add better comments for modules, class names, class attributes, class functions and other function defintions to better match that of a documentation string.
  • verb_utils.py
  • conjugator_utils.py
  • verbs.py
  • conjugator.py
• Add type hints for better clarity for every module

2023.10.11::00:16: refactored and tested verb_utils.py. added comments to suggest having it as a singular class instead of many functions.

2023.10.29::14:00: refactored and tested verbs.py. Had to modify the refactored verb_utils.py a bit. There is a still a bug with the soften, lengthen, shorten, and harden functions, but there usage is now limited/avoided.

2023.11.02::23:29: added type hints and better documentation style strings for the modules: providing module, class, and function descriptions.

2023.11.04::22:23: completed refactoring of verb classification, leaving only disambiguation to be refactored and tested. There are still a few minor issues one such being that a certain verb class is classified based only on ending but should also be classified on its syllabilacity. Another issue is that some 'special cases' (not irregular, just a change in a letter or 2) require the unprefixed verb.

2024.04.17::02:20: completed refactoring of conjugation utilities with completion of verb disambiguation and concrete verb determination. There is still work to be done in determining a verb's aspect (heuristically?), but where it stands now it surpasses the prior implementation.

conjutils_refactor is to be merged to main and future work will be on the branches conjugator_tests and perfective.

2024.04.21::15:06: conjugator testing for the most part done. There is still a single BUG comment and a few TODOs (all for aspect). FIXMEs were resolved. Branch conjugator_tests has been merged to main.

2024.04.22::19:02: Fixed vutils bug in the convert_last_match() function, now only converting at the last occurence in the last syllable. Resolving #4.
