this fix was lost in commit 84e967c0a, I can’t even imagine how it happened.
thank God it’s not me who was merging it.

The correction uses substitute character (0x001A) as a workaround. This
control character is the "older brother" of the replacement character
OxFFFD.

The workaround is necessary because the replacement character (0xFFFD)
is used to flag to indicate an error or EOF. The substitute character
(0x001A) was included as an alternative flag to indicate that the input
character itself is a replacement character (0xFFFD).

Upstreaming a patch for handling the difference between Linux & Solaris
/proc that we've been carrying in the Solaris packages for 2 years now:

https://github.com/oracle/solaris-userland/blob/master/components/desktop/espeak-ng/patches/03-procfs.patch

This gets rid of the warning message:
```
mbrowrap error: /proc is unaccessible: No such file or directory
```

On non-FHS systems like NixOS, there is no `/usr`. Additionally, Nix has
immutable packages so mbrola cannot be installed to espeak-ng’s
`datadir`. Instead, packages are expected to find data under one of the
paths listed in `XDG_DATA_DIRS` environment variable, as defined in the
[XDG Base Directory
Specification](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html#variables).

84e967c0a2 ("Update translate.c") (sic) dropped the initialization of
number_buf, breaking the CI on ubuntu amd64 clang+msan, ubuntu
amd64/i386 gcc/clang+valgrind,

While this probably deserves cleaning up, we'd rather not break the CI,
to be able to properly track regressions.

This PR accompanies for this merger on the pronunciation level.

Data for the constructed art language Xextan, adapted for current
version of eSpeak-NG.

I added initial support for Faroese language. Did the rules for most
common phonetic rules that are in place for Faroese, and the ability to
more easily make improvements to the phonemes, rules, and exceptions.
Current status is early testing, but voice is mostly understandable at
this point, and pronounces numbers by the correct rules now.
