Custom inflections

If something isn't pluralizing correctly, it's easy to customize.

# Place this in a config file like `config/inflectors.cr`
require "wordsmith"

# To pluralize a single string in a specific way
Wordsmith::Inflector.inflections.irregular("human", "humans")

# To stop Wordsmith from pluralizing a word altogether
Wordsmith::Inflector.inflections.uncountable("equipment")
