Eric House d24099f52b clean up Hex wordlist
Remove it from known set so it can be used to test. Get rid of
filenames having umlaut since that screws up URLs between Android and
nginx (not sure whose fault and not going there now.) Lang name should
be able to have an umlaut, but it gets used for filename for now so
fix later....

LANGINFO: <p>The hex "language" is something of a programmers' joke.
LANGINFO: Hex is short for hexadecimal, a 16-base number system whose
LANGINFO: "digits" are the numerals 0-9 plus the letters A-F. Hex
LANGINFO: letters are often used to represent computer data, and
LANGINFO: certain sequences are sometimes used as markers because
LANGINFO: they're easy to pick out in large dumps of otherwise
LANGINFO: meaningless (to humans) garbage. In staring at Mac memory
LANGINFO: dumps, for example, you'd occasionally see the letters
LANGINFO: DEADBEEF and know that memory in that area was probably
LANGINFO: undamaged.</p>
LANGINFO: <p>I use Hex dictionaries for testing since they have few
LANGINFO: tiles and games play quickly. That's also why the Hex
LANGINFO: tile set has four blanks; that's the largest number
LANGINFO: Crosswords supports and I needed to test at the limit.</p>
# High bit means "official". Next 7 bits are an enum where Hex==127
# (I just made that up; not sure what it was originally.) Low byte is
# padding
