feat(ef): the votive Office of Our Lady on Saturday (RG 78)

RG 78, Caput IX "De sancta Maria in sabbato": "In sabbatis, in quibus occurrit
Officium de feria IV classis, fit de sancta Maria in sabbato." A Saturday whose
office would otherwise be a IV-class feria keeps Our Lady's office instead, and
it is white -- RG 431(e) classes that Mass as a "Missa votiva IV classis ... de
B. Maria Virg.", RG 121(a) gives a votive Mass the colour of the feast-type it
answers to, and RG 120(b) makes feasts of the BVM white.

Smaller than it sounds, because the protasis is already computed. "A IV-class
feria" is exactly what rank still being RankClass4 means at that point: every
branch above has promoted Advent, Lent, Passiontide, the Ember days, the
privileged ferias and the Christmas octave out of it.

The SLUG IS DELIBERATELY UNCHANGED. colitur, which has had this office since
its v0.3.0, does the same: a bespoke slug would recur many times a year and
break the one-slug-per-liturgical-year invariant, and the readings are
selected by the Mass formulary rather than by the slug. Only the colour moves.
It is also the temporal office only -- a sanctoral feast that outranks the
Saturday still wins and brings its own colour, exactly as before.

Result: lectio and colitur now agree on the colour of EVERY DAY of 2026. Zero
mismatches, where this class alone was nine days that year and 439 rows across
2005-2050 -- the largest single divergence class between the two engines.

Pinned in both directions, because the tempting wrong fix is to whiten every
Saturday: Lent and Advent Saturdays are III-class violet ferias and must stay
violet, and Holy Saturday must too. Mutation-tested -- dropping the IV-class
guard reddens the test on the Lenten Saturday, not on the per-annum ones.
