Add mobile-friendly character grouping option

Browse source 
The update adds a new command line flag '-g' for activating mobile-friendly character grouping in password generation (Algo: 1). Enabling this option can make the passwords more readable, but it also comes with the caveat of possibly reducing the password's entropy.

- Note: Due to the way the pronounceable password algorithm works,
this setting might not always apply

more predictable and lowers the entropy of the generated password.
