fix: CW decoder loses the first characters after a speed change, and splits callsigns

Both faults reported on the air, both reproduced in synthetic signals first —
the existing tests all passed because each starts a fresh decoder and sends
textbook spacing, which is neither of the cases that hurt.

Speed change. A 32 wpm station followed by a 14 wpm reply decoded as
"TTT TTTT TTTTT TT…" for most of the over. Not the element classifier: the
CHARACTER-gap threshold is 2.2 dits, so at the stale fast estimate it stood at
81 ms while the newcomer's element gaps were 86 ms. Every single element was
flushed as its own character, and a lone element with no contrast reads as a
dah. A silence long enough to end an over now drops the estimate back to the
seed, which is exactly the state a freshly started decoder is in — and that case
was always fine. The threshold scales with the current estimate (12 dits, floor
600 ms) because a fixed one cannot serve both 10 and 40 wpm.

Callsign split. The word boundary sits at 4.6 dits, the geometric mean of a
3-dit letter gap and a 7-dit word gap. It assumes textbook spacing; a fist
leaving 5 dits between letters had every letter turned into a word, so a
callsign arrived as "O Y 1 C T". The boundary now also follows the letter gaps
this operator actually sends, whichever is larger. A wide sender's words may run
together — a far smaller price than a callsign in pieces.
