fix: Allow line break after ellipsis and underscore (#425)
## Summary

* Add additional punctuation marks to the list of characters that can be
immediately followed by a line break even where there is no explicit
space

## Additional Context

* Huge appreciation to @osteotek for his amazing work on hyphenation.
Reading on the device is so much better now.
* I am getting bad line breaks when ellipses (…) are between words and
book file does not explicitly include some kind of breaking space.
* Per
[discussion](https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/305#issuecomment-3765411406),
several new characters are added in this PR to the `isExplicitHyphen`
list to allow line breaks immediately after them:

Character | Unicode | Usage | Why include it?
-- | -- | -- | --
Solidus (Slash) | U+002F | / | Essential for breaking URLs and "and/or"
constructs.
Backslash | U+005C | \ | Critical for technical text, file paths, and
coding documentation.
Underscore | U+005F | _ | Prevents "runaway" line lengths in usernames
or code snippets.
Middle Dot | U+00B7 | · | Acts as a semantic separator in dictionaries
or stylistic lists.
Ellipsis | U+2026 | … | Prevents justification failure when dialogue
lacks following spaces.
Midline Horizontal Ellipsis | U+22EF | ⋯ | Useful for mathematical
sequences and technical notation.


### Example:

This shows an example of what line breaking looks like *with* this PR.
Note the line break after "matter…" (which would not previously have
been allowed). It's particularly important here because the book
includes non-breaking spaces in "Mr. Aldrich" and "Mr. Rockefeller."
