[BRLTTY] SPEAK_NEXT_WORD and word boundaries in Debian Trixie

You can experiment with the new bindings if you build from the word-nav branch. I didn't want to add a new key so, instead, I moved a few bindings around.

   Tab + j goes to and speaks the previous partial word.
   Tab + k speaks the current partial word.
   Tab + l goes to and speaks the next partial word.
   Tab + Ctl + k spells the current partial word.
   Tab + Ctl + j speaks the current indent.

The full word commands use 8, 9, and 0. So:

   Tab + 8 goes to and speaks the previous full word.
   Tab + 9 speaks the current full word.
   Tab + 0 goes to and speaks the next full word.
   Tab + Ctl + 9 spells the current full word.
   Tab + Ctl + 8 speaks the speech cursor's location.
   Tab + Ctl + 0 routes the screen cursor to the speech cursor.

In addition, Tab + Ctl + i spells the current line.

Let me know if this approach is okay or if changing a few bindings around was the wrong thing to do.
