Keep bamboo-core update to date

[wengxt]

I noticed that the bamboo-core in ibus-bamboo and bamboo-core diverges. It should be kept in sync.

I suggest it to be done by git submodule for easier management.

@wengxt So sorry for the late reply. I haven't received any notification emails for this issue. Will update soon

Everything is up to date. For your suggestion, unfortunately there's no way to build from git repository with submodules on Launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/git-build-recipe/+bug/1733603 (may be OpenBuildService also). Submodules seem to be more trouble than they are worth and I prefer to keep the code in sync manually at the moment.
Please let me know if you need any help!

Bộ bamboo-core này của a là có nguyên 6 chế độ gõ hay chỉ tương đương với chế độ gõ 1 preedit vậy a?

bamboo-core chỉ là thư viện xử lý tiếng Việt chứ không phải bộ gõ bạn nhé, thời gian tới nếu có thể mình sẽ bổ sung thêm 1 vài chế độ gõ khác vào fcitx5-bamboo

@luongthanhlam @vuongtuha I'm not a big fan of adding any hacky typing mode in fcitx5-bamboo. I know ibus-bamboo has lots of such code, but please don't the same for fcitx5-bamboo.
My opinion on the adding existing mode in ibus-bamboo:

1. using surrounding text is ok with me, but usually doesn't worth the effort due to the poor implementation on linux. I would only use it as some auxiliary data.
2. typing mode sending fake X key would never be acceptable - it doesn't work on wayland anyway.
3. non-preedit popup window can be easily toggled in fcitx (Ctrl+Alt+P), so no need to add that. We know preedit can be problematic in certain cases or a workaround for certain problem, so we have this support in framework instead of in engine.

The preferable route should always be fixing the problematic program themselves. Adding workaround like that only pushes the burden to user. I always try to keep the amount of such hack as low as possible. We maintain like almost 20~ different fcitx engines, adding hack to certain engine to me is not a right way to go.

But Feel free to report any issue you have to fcitx. Even if eventually we found it's an application problem, fcitx developers will be willing to look into the application code find a fix, or report with more details to help application owner to fix.

OBS can. You can use obs_scm like this: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:trmdi/fcitx5-bamboo
