Continuing issues with Portuguese -AR verb conjugation data

[joumorisu]

Describe the bug
I would like to reopen the issue that I posted a couple years ago. I'm coming back to this project after stepping away from programming for a bit. There seems to still be an issue (as reported previously by myself and @zelenij) with 1st person plural conjugation of the "Indicativo pretérito perfeito simples" tense. For example, with the word "falar", it outputs "fal)". Another type of output can be seen in "chegar", where it outputs "cheg". From what I can see so far, this bug only affects -AR verbs. -ER and -IR output seems normal, but maybe more testing is needed. I tested 809 verbs, and found that 209 of them produce this type of error.

Here are the results of my testing:

I was digging around some more and found a lot more instances of these two types of errors. It seems they are stemming from the mlconjug3/data/conjug_manager/conjugation-pt.xml file. There are 177 instances of blank elements, 140 instances of ), and 2,166 instances of -.

@Jmorr10 , thanks for re-posting this issue.

I will take some time to clean up the Portuguese data asap.

Thanks for using mlconjug3.

Chers.
