Convert 20_Buzzword to Java

The original version was a straight forward monolithic BASIC-to-Java
conversion. Updated to use common Java coding conventions.

 - Split the single static main method into classes. The static part
   only contains the bootstrap code for the game.
 - Split the word list into three arrays so that there is no need to
   use error-prone calculations when choosing the random words.
 - Placed the Scanner in a try-with-resources block to ensure that the
   scanner gets closed when it is no longer needed.
