Make current 2012/kang properly alt code

I was on the fence of whether it's a feature or bug that the program
deciphers 'fier' as '4' instead of proper 'vier' but to help with
preventing confusion to those who know German I ended up changing it.
This was thought okay but after more thought and also playing with it a
bit I have made that fix the alt version instead. It so happens that
(and I wondered about this at the time but did not have examples then)
by changing it to 'vier' it caused other number words to be wrong. Thus
the version that I'll call vier (even though it's zwei or if
alternatively if zero based eins :-) ) is now the alt version.

Added en.sh and de.sh scripts to count from 0 through 13 (reason below),
showing the word and number and then the result. One can choose whether
to use the alt version or not by passing in KANG=... to the script like:

    KANG=kang.alt ./de.sh

would run the vier version of kang (kang.alt).

As for why 13 it's to demonstrate two of the German umlauts, ö and ü (in
German you can add an 'e' or 'E' if you don't have the umlaut so it does
both to demonstrate how the program deals with it).

Makefile updated so one can run make alt.

.gitignore updated.

Now the program is how it was and how it should be and yet at the same
time one play with the vier versus fier.

How does it have no `u` or `o` in a string in the source code and yet it gets
`uno` right?
### Also try:
### Alternate code:
For those who speak Germans:
This alternate code fixes the program that would throw off those who know German
where the sound of 'V' is 'F' and so the program had the letter be 'F'. A
problem, however, with changing it is that it breaks other words. Thus there is
the alternate version instead which fixes the problem.

What does it get right? What does it get wrong? How does it compare to the
original entry without the change of `f` to `v`?
Finally why does it get what it gets wrong wrong?

## [2012/kang](2012/kang/kang.c) ([README.md](2012/kang/README.md]))
Cody changed the code to accept the proper German for four 'vier' where before
it was spelt with the sound of V (fier not vier). But was this a bug or a
feature? He's on the fence here but he went ahead and did it anyway as it seems
useful and not having it fixed somewhat lessens the usability, especially for
those who know German and expect it to be 'vier' :-)
Cody added alt code that fixes the problem where in German 'v' sounds like 'f'
which the program has as 'f'. Thus with the original version it would translate
'fier' to '4' when the word is 'vier'. Originally this was updated in the
original code but it was noticed that this caused _other_ words to be incorrect
so it was set as an alt version since the code was already there. It might also
be considered a feature and not a bug so an alt version is the better way to go
about it. Using both allows one to experience different capabilities and also
enjoy or appreciate the entry more.
Cody also added two scripts, [en.sh](2012/kang/en.sh) and
[de.sh](2012/kang/de.sh) which counts from 0 through 13 in English and German.
In the German script it uses the umlaut and also does it without the umlaut (add
an 'e'). Both scripts can use either version to see the differences. See the
README.md file for details.
