make 'avy-goto-word-1 work with the form-feed character ("^L") (used …

…to separate functions in emacs lisp files)

In Emacs Lisp files, especially those which are part of Emacs itself, form-feed characters (^L) are used to separate definitions or groups of definitions (and are represented in emacs-lisp-mode as coloured dividers). It would be convenient to be able to jump to these dividers with 'avy-word, but this currently doesn't work (even if the character is added to avy-subword-extra-word-chars).

This patch to 'avy-goto-word-1 simply tests if the character is ^L and if so makes an avy-goto-subword-0 call specifically for ^L. If not, it proceeds as usual.

Possibly this should be limited to emacs-lisp-mode, but that might complicate things if there were avy -all-windows or -other-window commands (I can't see any such commands, but it seems like something that may appear later).

Thanks for the suggestion. I've solved it more generally, so now "^A" -- "^Z" work.

Oh, okay. Great, thanks.
