Add mobile-friendly character grouping option
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.

apg [-a <algo>] [-m <length>] [-x <length>] [-L] [-U] [-N] [-S] [-H] [-C]
[-l] [-M mode] [-E char_string] [-n num_of_pass] [-mX number] [-t] [-p] [-v] [-h]
Flags:
-a ALGORITH Choose the password generation algorithm (Default: 1)
- 0: pronounceable password generation (koremutake syllables)
- 1: random password generation according to password modes/flags
- 2: coinflip (returns heads or tails)
- 3: full binary mode (generates simple 256 bit randomness)
-bh When set, will print the generated secret in its hex representation (Default: off)
-bn When set, will return a new line character after the generated secret (Default: off)
- Note: The -bX options only apply to binary mode (Algo: 3)
-m LENGTH Minimum length of the password to be generated (Default: 12)
-x LENGTH Maximum length of the password to be generated (Default: 20)
-f LENGTH Fixed length of the password to be generated (Ignores -m and -x)
- Note: Due to the way the pronounceable password algorithm works,
this setting might not always apply
-g When set, mobile-friendly character grouping will be enabled in Algo: 1
- Note: Grouping characters in random passwords makes them much
more predictable and lowers the entropy of the generated password.
-n NUMBER Amount of password to be generated (Default: 6)
- Note: Does not apply to binary mode (Algo: 3)
-E CHARS List of characters to be excluded in the generated password
-M [LUNSHClunshc] New style password flags
- Note: new-style flags have higher priority than any of the old-style flags
-mL NUMBER Minimum amount of lower-case characters (implies -L)
-mN NUMBER Minimum amount of numeric characters (implies -N)
-mS NUMBER Minimum amount of special characters (implies -S)
-mU NUMBER Minimum amount of upper-case characters (implies -U)
- Note: any of the "Minimum amount of" modes may result in
extraordinarily long calculation times
- Note 2: The "minimum amount of" modes do not apply in
pronounceable mode (-a 0)
-C Enable complex password mode (implies -L -U -N -S and disables -H)
-H Avoid ambiguous characters in passwords (i. e.: 1, l, I, O, 0) (Default: off)
-L Toggle lower-case characters in passwords (Default: on)
-N Toggle numeric characters in passwords (Default: on)
-S Toggle special characters in passwords (Default: off)
-U Toggle upper-case characters in passwords (Default: on)
- Note: this flag has higher priority than the other old-style flags
-l Spell generated passwords in phonetic alphabet (Default: off)
-t Spell generated pronounceable passwords with the corresponding
syllables (Default: off)
-p Check the HIBP database if the generated passwords was found in a leak before (Default: off)
- Note: this feature requires internet connectivity
-h Show this help text
-v Show version string`
