* Forms: date fields name months in the date language, not always English (#5303)
`AFDate_FormatEx("dd-mmm-yy")` wrote "18-Oct-26" in an Italian interface,
where a localized Acrobat writes "18-ott-26". Form date formats,
`util.printd` and `util.scand` now take their month and weekday names
from the date language (Preferences > Date format > Language, which
follows the interface language until one is picked), and still read
English names typed in. The names are process-wide, so their test runs
in its own binary.

* Forms: dates read back in every date language (#5303)
Trying every date language showed what a field wrote not always reading
back: names holding digits ("10月"), spaces ("tháng 10"), dots ("ม.ค.")
or combining vowel signs (Thai, Hindi, Telugu) fell apart word by word,
and Italian, Spanish, Romanian and Albanian share some short weekday and
month names ("mar"). The language's names are now found whole in the
text first, the longest at each place, and read as their English names;
the format's order of `mmm` and `ddd` settles a shared name. Both
AFDate parsing and util.scand do this, on text up to 1 KB. A test reads
back every language, each name format, and hostile text.

* Forms: date names no field font can draw are drawn in English (#5303)
With the names in the date language, a Russian dd-mmm-yy field drawn in
Helvetica showed "18-????.-26": no /DR font held "окт." and the WinAnsi
stand-in drew each letter as ?. The same held for Japanese, Chinese,
Greek, Arabic, Thai and others, and for Latin names outside WinAnsi
(Czech "říj"). Before, the names were English and always drew. An
AFDate/AFTime field now formats its value again with English names for
a widget whose fonts can't draw the localized text; a custom Format
script is run again with util.printd writing English names for such a
widget, and its result kept only when it draws whole. A field whose
font holds the names keeps them, and scripts otherwise still print the
date language.

* Forms: an English weekday before the month keeps the month (#5303)
With Italian dates, "Tue 17 Mar 2026" in a "ddd d mmm yyyy" field read
as no date: the language's names were found in the text, but not
English ones, so "Tue" left the format's weekday unfilled and "Mar",
which Italian shares between Tuesday and March, was taken as the
weekday. Both AFDate parsing and util.scand lost the month, and
Spanish, Romanian and Albanian ("mar") did the same. English names are
now found too and fill their field of the format as localized ones do.
A test reads English and mixed weekdays before the month in those
languages.

* Forms: an English date run is drawn even when it prints the value (#5303)
A Helvetica field storing "18-Oct-26" whose Format script prints it
again as dd-mmm-yy still showed "18-???.-26" in Russian. The English
run printed "18-Oct-26", but it was dropped for equalling the stored
value, which was how a failed run was told apart: a failing script
handed back the value unchanged. The English run now says whether it
ran (`None` when the script failed or the runner can't write English
dates), and what it made is drawn whenever it draws whole. A test
reprints the stored value under Russian, and checks that a failing
script keeps its text and is reported undrawn.

* Forms: a short weekday typed without its dot is the weekday (#5303)
With French dates, "mar 6 janv 2026" in a "ddd d mmm yyyy" field read
as no date through util.scand, and "mar 06/01/2026" in "ddd dd/mm/yyyy"
through AFDate too. French writes Tuesday as "mar.", which a name
search only found with its dot; since English names are found as well,
the English "Mar" (March) was the only name of that length, so the
weekday became a month. Romanian "mar" did the same. A short name
ending in a dot is now also found typed without it, as the same kind of
name, so the format's order of name fields decides between it and an
equal name of the other kind. Both copies of the name search change. A
test reads French and Romanian weekdays typed without their dot.

* Forms: a shared name is the month when no weekday is typed (#5303)
With Italian dates, "17 mar 2026" in a "ddd d mmm yyyy" field read as
no date, nor did "mar 17, 2026" in "dddd, mmmm d, yyyy". AFDate leaves
weekdays out of what it reads (they are shown, not typed), but the name
search still expected the format's weekday first, so "mar", which
Italian shares between Tuesday and March, filled it and left no month.
Spanish and Albanian "mar" and Albanian "sht" (Saturday, September) did
the same, and the keystroke check refused those dates. Where such a
read finds no date, the names are now read again with no weekday
expected, so the shared name is the month; a typed weekday still comes
first ("mar 17 mar 2026"). util.scand reads its fields in order and
needs the weekday, so it is unchanged. A test types those dates with the
weekday left out.

* Forms: Turkish names typed in capitals are read (#5303)
With Turkish dates, "1 MAYIS 2026" and "1 EKİM 2026" in a d mmmm yyyy
field read as no date through AFDate and util.scand, and "SALI 6 OCAK
2026" through util.scand. Names were compared lower-cased, which turns
I into i, not the dotless ı of "Mayıs" and "Salı", and İ into i with a
combining dot above, which "Ekim" doesn't have. Names and typed text
are now folded alike, the capital I and the dotted and dotless i all as
i and the combining dot dropped, one piece for each char so positions
in the text stay aligned: in both copies of the name search, the AFDate
month reader and util.scand's name matcher. English reads as before. A
test types Turkish names in capitals and English ones as a check.

* Forms: Greek names typed in capitals are read again (#5303)
Folding names char by char turned a capital Σ into σ, so "ΙΑΝΟΥΆΡΙΟΣ"
no longer matched "Ιανουάριος", whose last letter is the final ς. The
fold now makes ς a σ on both sides, in the forms and JS parsers alike.

parse_calculate trimmed the notation with str::trim, which also took an
escaped space ending its last name: "Qty * Total\ " read back as
"Qty * Total\", a field the form doesn't have, while the script's
JavaScript still read "Total ". It now trims to its first and last
token, as the field-reading scan does. notation_storable compares the
names and operators read back with those given, so a notation ending in
a lone \ (which escapes the space after it) is refused; a proptest reads
back notations of any names (from the review).

A notation is kept in the script's /** BVCALC … EVCALC **/ comment and read
back from there. One holding EVCALC was stored cut short ("a EVCALC b"
read back as "a", and its JavaScript translation didn't parse), one
holding */ ended the comment, and an empty one became "event.value = ;".
form_set_props now refuses each (af::notation_storable: it has to read back
as itself). The test also pins a notation beside op alone and beside
fields alone (from the review).

AFSimple_Calculate("SUM", "a, b", x) gave only a built-name site, so a
rename no longer rewrote a and b (main did) while parse_calculate still
read the sum of a and b: after a rename the sum read missing fields. The
string list now keeps its names when an argument follows, and what
follows is a name built at run time, as for an array (from the review).

- CalculatedField carries the field object: form_calculation_order and
the Calculation order page find each row's formula and value by it,
so two calculated fields sharing a name (a malformed form) each show
their own.
- An AFSimple_Calculate list counts as written out only when it ends
the call: "row" + suffix and [...].concat(more) are names built at
run time, and an array item counts only when it ends at a comma or
the list's end, so ["row" + i] no longer reads, or renames, "row".
- After a reorder, Undo is offered on the missing-field card instead of
bringing back the all-clear beside it.

calculation_order flags MissingField (a field deleted from under a sum, a
typo in notation, a script's getField; a group's name and a widget's
number count as there) and BuiltNames (a getField or AFSimple_Calculate
list built at run time, found as af::Site::Built in the same pass as the
literal names). form_calculation_order gives each field's formula and the
two new issues; form_fields shows a custom Calculate script; the
Calculation order page explains both in its row tooltips.
