XML: normalise line ends in text and CDATA (XML 1.0 §2.11) (#5897) (#5898)

Text nodes were decoded without line-end normalisation, so a file
saved with Windows line ends kept the CR of each CR LF: a line break
inside w:t read as two spaces. Text and CDATA now go through
quick-xml's xml_content, which reads CR LF and a lone CR as one line
feed; a CR written as 
 stays a CR. Attribute values were already
normalised.

 ## Progress log
 
 - 2026-11-08: Layout: a turned inline picture whose file keeps no room for the turn (no or a zero `wp:effectExtent`, as other tools write) keeps its line to its frame and overhangs it, cut at the line's top and bottom, as Word does: the frame as it is in Word 2007 layout, with width and height exchanged from 45° to 135° and 225° to 315° in Word 2013+ layout. Such a file saves the same way. Pictures with the room recorded (Word's own files) still take their rotated bounds. Readiness unchanged.
+- 2026-11-08: XML text and CDATA read with their line ends normalised (XML 1.0 §2.11): CR LF and a lone CR are one line feed, `
` stays a CR, so a line break inside `w:t` in a file saved with Windows line ends is one space, not two (#5897); readiness estimates unchanged.
 - 2026-11-06: Arabic interface: the Home tab's Styles gallery reads from the right, as the rest of the mirrored ribbon does (#5566). Normal is the rightmost tile, the next styles follow leftwards and the scroll arrows and More sit at the gallery's left end; left to right is unchanged. Readiness unchanged.
 - 2026-11-05: ODT heading text of another size keeps it (gap 19): a smaller word in a heading came back at the heading's size in LibreOffice after a save.
 - 2026-11-05: ODT table rows kept from breaking across pages stay so (gap 19): they came back from a save free to break.

Header cells (`<th>`) bold unless their CSS says otherwise; `text-align` on a cell, or inherited from its row, row group or table, aligns the cell's paragraphs (#1381). An opened page looks as Word opens one: Times New Roman 12 pt, single lines, browser-sized black headings, automatic 14 pt spacing where a `p` or heading states no margin (none before the first), a span's margin replacing its paragraph's. HTML gives no page size, so it opens on the region's paper (A4 or Letter), as Markdown and plain text do (#1381). No `@page`, descendant selectors or `div` margins. No Word "Web Page" (with `_files` folder) round-trip. The same reader takes HTML from the system clipboard: Paste keeps another program's formatting (a Word document, a web page; Windows' "HTML Format" header understood), Merge Formatting keeps its emphasis (#687). A pasted `<blockquote>` (LibreOffice's paragraph indented on both sides) becomes a Normal paragraph indented by the page's `blockquote` margins, else 0.5 in each side; opening an .html file keeps it as the Quote style (#1270). Equations are written as MathML (with the linear format as a UnicodeMath annotation) and read back from MathML: our annotation, else the presentation elements, else a TeX annotation (#816). 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). |

 | 2026-11-05 | trivial | ODT: a watermark added, changed or removed, and Different Odd & Even Pages turned on or off, in a file read from ODT are saved. The file's own page definitions were written back whatever happened to these, so the change was gone from the saved file (`odt::tests_more::headers`). Such a change writes the page definitions from the model, as other changes to what a page is made of do, so what WordCraft doesn't model of the page (a header's background) doesn't survive that save. Over 79 LibreOffice-authored files with a watermark added: all 79 have it, with the same page count in LibreOffice 26.8. |
