Replace smooth breathing mark (U+0313) on δ with apostrophe (U+2019) in elided forms of δέ (and compounds ending in -δε such as οὐδέ, μηδέ).

Additionally, several names in data/tlg2371/tlg001/tlg2371.tlg001.1st1K-grc1.xml began with a Δ̓ like Δ̓λφειός. These were most likely alphas rendering Ἀλφειός, etc.

Lastly, a Δ̓αβε in tlg2371 was most likely an ἔλαβε.

Four proper names beginning with Α (capital alpha with smooth
breathing, Ἀ) were OCR'd as Δ with a smooth breathing mark. The fix
restores Ἀ in: Ἀλφειός, Ἀδριανούπολις, Ἀφροδιτην, Ἀσσυρι’ων.

A fifth nearby case (Δ’αβε for ἔλαβε) involves a different OCR error
and is left for manual correction.

OCR misread the initial "ἔλ" as "Δ" in "Ἰσαὰκ ἔλαβε γυναῖκα τὴν
Ῥεβέκκαν" (Isaac took Rebecca as wife). Restore the correct form.

Note: "Λβέκκαν" on the same line should likely be "Ῥεβέκκαν", but
that is a multi-character OCR error and is left for manual review.
