Gap 19: ODT custom document properties and user fields as DOCPROPERTY

ODT custom document properties (`meta:user-defined` in `meta.xml`) were dropped, and the fields showing them or a user field were read as plain text. - Properties: `meta:user-defined` values (string, number, true/false, date) are now WordCraft's custom document properties, and so are user field declarations (`text:user-field-decl`). - Fields: `text:user-defined` and `text:user-field-get` are Word's `DOCPROPERTY` fields, which WordCraft updates from those properties. - Writing: custom properties go back into `meta.xml`, and a `DOCPROPERTY` naming one is written as `text:user-defined`. A LibreOffice document with a custom property and a user field round-trips pixel-identical, valid against the schema. Its user field comes back as a document property.

 | 20 | **Performance on large real-world documents** unmeasured (500+ pages, many pictures) | | DOCX comment saves avoid repeated paragraph-ID and durable-ID reservation searches; large threaded-comment fixtures retain metadata through save/reopen. Only the 188-page sample benchmark; scrolling a 1,096-page one-table document went from ~600 ms to ~2–5 ms a frame (#811), but opening it still lays out for seconds; opening a document with pictures no longer copies them (92 MB with 20 pictures: about 90 MB less); opening a document with many relationships now costs the size of its part and not that size times the number of relationships (1024 relationships and a 64 MiB part: 224 s → 0.2 s, #3411); a word with no break opportunity in it no longer lays out quadratically (1 MiB: 29.4 s → 0.35 s, #3412); saving a document with many content controls now costs the time the controls take (32,000 controls: 3.6 s → 0.1 s, #13) | Thesis and book authors | 10–20 | [layout-parity.md](layout-parity.md) |
