Implemented KNR C Exercise 1-12, reusing mostly modified code from my previous (optional) implementaiton of KNR C's example wordcounting program.

Nearly direct copy of a word count program from KNR C, mimicked here only so that I could compare the size of the resulting binary once compiled to my own solution, archived as ex1_10-5.c (ex1-10.5). The resulting binary, as compiled with GCC, was 136 lines long, 2 lines shorter than my own. Challenge failed :sigh:. Good exercise, though; I'll come back to this and study why later.

Added ex1_10-5.c, an implementation of an example wordcount program on pages 21/22 of KNR C, purely as an exercise to see if I could do it more efficiently than the book. This resulted in a binary that was, 138 lines long as disassembled.

Implemented a suggestion from Affine to replace the many if statements with a single switch and only ever call getchar at one point in the code.

Implemented suggestions from affine. Considerably simplified the program by removing initialization for 'a' prior to loop entry; 'a' is now declared as the initialization expression for the loop, performing a getchar at the same time and preventing a null byte from being printed as the first character (even though this was not visible to the user).

Added comments to explain certain code behaviors in ex1_10.c so that they can be read and referred to later more easily. Future code should be properly annotated on initial commit.

Initial incomplete implemenation of exercise 1-10. Current version only reprints tabs to \t and backslashes to \ rather than the intended behavior of doing that in addition to reprinting backspaces as \b. Bug is due to not capturing backspaces as input. Fix pending.

Implementation of exercise 1-9: copying and printing input text to output, removing redundant spaces.

Complexted exercise 1-8; count and report number of newline, tab, and blank characters in input.

Changed name of dumbtest.c to ex1_7.c to reflect what exercise was completed in this code.
