Add Farnsworth support to morse(6).
(For those interested: this is intented to extend the space between characters to help people learning morse code by giving the brain some extra time for acoustical pattern recognition.) Note: I slightly cleaned up the submitted patch for minor stylistic issues, and changed the default for the new -c option to be identical to -w. Submitted by: "Stephen P. Cravey" <cravey@gotbrains.org> N5UUU MFC after: 2 weeks PR: bin/81831
