feat(dictionary): characters of Chinese, Korean and Greek, written by hand; pinyin typed

Parity with Japanese's kanji and kana:

- The characters' tab is named by its language (Hanzi, Hangul & Hanja,
  Alphabet), its groups too: HSK levels and the characters in common use
  (Hong Kong's grades for traditional ones); Hangul and the Hanja taught
  in schools; Greek's letters. Radicals for Chinese and Korean in their
  own forms (讠 for 言 in simplified Chinese), none for Greek.
- A character's readings are named as its language names them: On and
  Kun, Pinyin, Eum and Hun (음, 훈); a letter means its sound and name.
- How characters are written comes by language: Chinese from Make Me a
  Hanzi (its medians in KanjiVG's square, Arphic Public License, a data
  file beside the app, never in cards), the Hangul letters drawn by the
  curator; a Korean word is written letter by letter (닭: ㄷ ㅏ ㄺ). Words
  of alphabets (German, Greek) aren't written by hand.
- A Chinese word's pinyin is typed in a session, tone numbers turning
  into marks (ni3 → nǐ); KRDict's levels (초급, 중급, 고급) tag Korean
  words; a Korean word's pronunciation shows in brackets ([가치]).
- Smaller: Look up in the composer keeps a noun's article; the Watch
  filter names its level list; hints and placeholders by language.

Stroke data of Chinese characters

The stroke files in this folder derive from Make Me a Hanzi (https://github.com/skishore/makemeahanzi), its data as of 2018-10-16 (commit 618dbab), by Shaunak Kishore:

the strokes from its graphics.txt, derived from the fonts Arphic PL KaitiM GB and Arphic PL UKai, © 1999 Arphic Technology Co., Ltd., distributed under the Arphic Public License (ARPHICPL.TXT, unaltered, as it asks);
the components from its dictionary.txt, derived from the Unihan database (© Unicode, Inc.) and CJKlib, distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 3 or later (LGPL.txt, with Unicode's notice, as Make Me a Hanzi ships it).

They are distributed under the same licences; the app's licence list shows both. halkyon_learn_curator's curate makemeahanzi writes them (see its README), and each file says how and when it was changed (notice), as the Arphic Public License asks: every stroke is the line Make Me a Hanzi draws through its middle (its median), scaled into KanjiVG's 109 × 109 square with its y axis pointing down, without the outlines; a character's components are the first split of its decomposition (海: 氵, 每). They are an aggregate beside the app, never part of its code nor copied into cards: a card names its character, and the app draws it from these files.
