A11Y: update LibLouis

Project Member Reported by dsexton@chromium.org, Apr 20 2018 
Chrome: 68.0.3400.0 Canary 64 bit

Steps to repro:
# With ChromeVox enabled, open settings -> advanced -> accessibility -> ChromeVox options -> braille
# Set 6-dot braille and braille table to UEB
# Open a new gmail message or google doc with braille mode enabled
# type "THIS IS A TEST" in all caps

Expected: Translation should be by line and the text should begin with dot-6, dot-6, dot-6 to begin all caps, and end with dot-6, dot-3 to end all caps
(Compare with NVDA braille support on windows)

Actual: Translation is by word so each word begins with dot-6 dot-6

The title is a mis-leading assumption. Translations are done by the text given  to liblouis. For example, write "to test" and use the US G2 table. You will see the "to" symbol followed by "test" without a space in-between.

Please check the UEB translation used by NVDA and see if they have similar issues with the cap rules in UEB. If they are working, we might need to update liblouis.

NVDA 2018 translates the following properly, so it must be a different version of liblouis
ONE
ONE TWO
ONE TWO THREE
ONE TWO THREE FOUR

First and second line use double caps before each word
third and fourth lines use allcaps start, and then termination sign at the end of the line.
