Adds character set option that for the Klingon alphabet with argument '-l K'. The used characters are part of the Unicode standard given to Klingon characters, which is a subset of the "ConScripts". For it to work, the user's terminal font must implement the Klingon characters. Works with "FreeMono Regular" in mate-terminal on Ubuntu 17.10.

I merged it, but I can't find a font that works. "FreeMono Regular" from the Ubuntu repos doesn't have the Klingon characters. Maybe your terminal is falling back to another font? Let me know if you can find a link to a font that definitely works?

I think you're right. I just tested on another machine. I apparently have a Klingon-capable font installed on the one, but not the other, and it, when it worked, it was falling back.

Any of these should provide 'fall-back' coverage for the characters. I haven't found one that is a monospace font.
