--[=[
This module creates standardised displays for gender and number.
It converts a gender specification into Wiki/HTML format.
A gender/number specification consists of one or more gender/number elements, separated by hyphens.
Examples are: "n" (neuter gender), "f-p" (feminine plural), "m-an-p" (masculine animate plural),
"pf" (perfective aspect). Each gender/number element has the following properties:
1. A code, as used in the spec, e.g. "f" for feminine, "p" for plural".
2. A type, e.g. "gender", "number" or "animacy". Each element in a given spec must be of a different type.
3. A display form, which in turn consists of a display code and a tooltip gloss. The display code
may not be the same as the spec code, e.g. the spec code "an" has display code "anim" and tooltip
gloss "animate".
4. A category into which lemmas of the right part of speech are placed if they have a gender/number
spec containing the given element. For example, a noun with gender/number spec "m-an-p" is placed
into the categories "LANG masculine nouns", "LANG animate nouns" and "LANG pluralia tantum".

-- Format one or more gender/number specifications. Each spec is either a string, e.g. "f-p", or a table of the form
-- {spec = "SPEC", qualifiers = {"QUALIFIER", "QUALIFIER", ...}} where `.spec` is a gender/number spec such as "f-p"
-- and `.qualifiers` is a list of qualifiers to display before the formatted gender/number spec. `.spec` must be present
-- but `.qualifiers` may be omitted.
--
-- The function returns two values:
-- (a) the formatted text;
-- (b) a list of the categories to add.
-- If `lang` (which should be a language object) and `pos_for_cat` (which should be a plural part of speech) are given,
-- gender categories such as "German masculine nouns" or "Russian imperfective verbs" are added to the categories.
-- Otherwise, if only `lang` is given, the only category that may be returned is "Requests for gender in LANG entries".
-- If both are omitted, the returned list is empty.
