Add double metaphone code from Andrew Dunstan. Also change metaphone so that
an empty input string causes an empty output string to be returned, instead of
throwing an ERROR -- per complaint from Aaron Hillegass, and consistent with
double metaphone. Fix examples in README.soundex pointed out by James Robinson.
