Some values that can never, ever, change were held in local
variables, rather than in PROGMEM. Fixed.
Change "pressed" to a signed int so the test for < 0 makes
sense, and to avoid possible weird failure modes in the
case where a key release comes in when pressed is already
zero. (Shouldn't happen, sure, but computers are weird.)
A lot of things in process_steno had external linkage for no
particular reason. They've been marked static. Stuff still
builds.
Distinguish between currently-held keys and keys that have
been held, and expose these values through a nicely-named API
so other code could, say, check on the current set of steno
chording in order to make displays. Also in passing fix up the
"state" value having external linkage so it could clash with
other people's variable declarations.
The API also provides hooks for key processing and steno chord
events, so you can monitor those events without having to
run in matrix_scan_user and recheck the values directly. Also
document these.
There is no path through processing a key that doesn't
end with a return false, so the nested return foo() are
gone and we just return false.

## Interfacing with the code
The steno code has three interceptible hooks. If you define these functions, they will be called at certain points in processing; if they return true, processing continues, otherwise it's assumed you handled things.
This function is called when a chord is about to be sent. Mode will be one of `STENO_MODE_BOLT` or `STENO_MODE_GEMINI`. This represents the actual chord that would be sent via whichever protocol. You can modify the chord provided to alter what gets sent. Remember to return true if you want the regular sending process to happen.
This function is called when a keypress has come in, before it is processed. The keycode should be one of `QK_STENO_BOLT`, `QK_STENO_GEMINI`, or one of the `STN_*` key values.
This function is called after a key has been processed, but before any decision about whether or not to send a chord. If `IS_PRESSED(record->event)` is false, and `pressed` is 0 or 1, the chord will be sent shortly, but has not yet been sent. This is where to put hooks for things like, say, live displays of steno chords or keys.
