Add weakspot mode. (#1606) by shishberg

* Add weakspot mode.

This keeps track of a per-character "weakness" score, basically a
moving average of the spacing duration with a penalty for incorrect
letters. The weakspot funbox mode uses this to bias towards words
with lots of weak letters.

* Comment about keeping weaknessScores

* Move weakspot to its own module.

* prettier
