[BRLTTY] Contraction errors and patch: Ag'in, comin'

Hi folks,

I'm stuck in dialects lately...

Ag'in should not use the letter sign:

ag'94 ,don't wait too l;g60 he sd )a
ag'91 !y c 2 too m1n40
 too1 b ,ah /uck hit back 9 ag'940
   8,i've l1n$ ?' la4} ag'9/ ?' %$ =
 happ5 ag'91 bu4yroe40

Also, comin' needs to sacrifice the final contraction to keep it from
being a blob of lower signs. Note that if it's preceded by a dash then
it's the first sign that is done without. Brltty handles this
correctly with the attached patch:

,he don't l folks -in' r.d 8 place2 &
6b$4 ,n',i'm n -in' 6say gd-ni<t4 ,"f
  8,mi -in' ) u 6! piebald ? afn80
