Convert numbers to English words in Swift
-----------------------------------------
Supports numbers from 0 to 999,999,999,999,999.
Strategy:
- Break the number into named groups: trillions, billions, millions,
thousands, hundreds.
- Convert each 0–999 group using a helper function.
- Append group names ("trillion", "billion", etc.) when needed.
- Build the final string using an array and joined(separator:) for efficiency.
