use jstrdecode -N w/o bin/jval-wrapper.sh -T

We now use `jstrdecode -N` without the need for
using `-T` with `bin/jval-wrapper.sh`.

Now depending on `jstrdecode(1)` with a minimum version
of "1.2.3" (was "1.2.0").

Added information about bin tools missing from `bin/README.md`.

Changed `bin/entry2csv.sh` VERSION from "1.5 2024-10-08"
to "1.5.1 2024-10-10".

Changed `bin/gen-authors.sh` VERSION from "1.14 2024-10-08"

Changed `bin/gen-location.sh` VERSION from "1.8 2024-10-08"
to "1.8.1 2024-10-10".

Changed `bin/gen-years.sh` VERSION from "1.6 2024-10-08"
to "1.6.1 2024-10-10".

Changed `bin/output-index-author.sh` VERSION from "1.10 2024-10-08"
to "1.10.1 2024-10-10".

Changed `bin/output-year-index.sh` VERSION from "1.6 2024-10-08"
to "1.6.1 2024-10-10".

Changed `bin/subst.entry-index.sh` VERSION from "1.8 2024-10-08"
to "1.8.1 2024-10-10".

Perform `make all_jfmt` to format canoncailly, all `entry.json`
and all `author/author_handle.json` files.  A side effect of this
is to replace all of the fancy non-ASCII characters within
JSON strings with their "bashslash-u hex hex hex hex" equivalent.
Thanks to the newly fixed `jstrdecode(1)` tool, there was
no change in the HTML output.

Perform `make www` to perform the above and test under macOS.

+
+Combine all author/author_handle.JSON files as single JSON file.
+
+The purpose of this tool is to make looking for information across all
+authors faster by temporarily forming them into a single JSON file.
+
+Because `jsp(1)` open remembers the last copy of a given JSON member name.
+As such, we change the JSON member name "winning_entry_set" into
+a unique "winning_entry_set.FILENO" where FILENO is the file number.
+This the JSON member value will be preserved across all files.
+
+We also convert where FILENO is the file number and FILENAME is the filename:
+
+``` <!---json-->
+   "sort_word" : "data",
+```
+
+into:
+
+``` <!---json-->
+   "sort_word.FILENO" : [
+       {
+           "sort_word" : "data FILENAME"
+       }
+   ],
+```
+
+This will allow `jsp(1)` to print sort_word values.
+
+We also make sure that the last item from a given file ends in a comma (",)",
+due to the bogosity of the so-called JSON spec.
+
+Usage:
+
+``` <!---sh-->
+    bin/combine_author_handle.sh > combined_author_handle.json
+```
+
+**NOTE**: This tool assume that all JSON files have been formatted with the
+`bin/jprint-wrapper.sh` tool.  In particular the first line is just "{:,
+and the last line is just "}" and each JSON element is on its own line.
