Gap 19: ODT index marks as XE fields; updating an index held around its entries

ODT index marks (`text:alphabetical-index-mark`) were dropped. So
References › Update Index on an opened ODT index found no entries and
left the old list in place. Now:
- a mark at a point is Word's `XE` field, its `text:key1`/`text:key2`
  the levels above its entry;
- a mark over text (`-mark-start` … `-mark-end`, in one paragraph) is
  an `XE` field whose entry is the marked text, which stays text;
- `XE` fields are written back as point marks.

Engine: Update rebuilt only lists in WordCraft's own form, a paragraph
holding the field. A list held as a field around its entries, as ODT
and Word files hold an index, bibliography or table of figures, is now
first made the field's own paragraph, then rebuilt. That happens only
when the field starts its paragraph, so no document text is replaced.

A LibreOffice document with an index mark round-trips pixel-identical,
the mark kept.

A copy of one equation alone also goes in the clipboard's MathML formats (Windows "MathML" and "MathML Presentation", macOS `public.mathml.presentation` and `public.mathml`; W3C MathML 3 §6.2.4), which Microsoft documents Word reading first when it pastes math (#1297; the paste into Word is not yet verified); Ruby (furigana, phonetic guides) is written as `<ruby>base<rt>reading</rt></ruby>` in the base text's formatting and read back from `<ruby>`/`<rb>`/`<rt>` (`<rp>` fallback parentheses dropped; malformed markup keeps its text), so docx/doc → HTML → doc keeps the annotation; HTML states no alignment, size or raise, so the Phonetic Guide's defaults apply (#1681)  CRLF and lone CR input newlines normalize before tokenization, preserving preformatted lines and leaving decoded character references separate (#4810). |
