Subject: fix(ef): 1962 occurrence precedence for the full sanctoral

- Septuagesima ferias are IV class (per annum), not III class, so a III
  class saint (e.g. Conversion of St Paul, Jan 25) displaces them.
- Holy Week ferias and the privileged octaves of Easter and Pentecost are
  I class: no saint's feast is admitted (temporal office wins).
- Occurrence tie-break is asymmetric by season: an ordinary feria (Advent,
  per annum) yields to an equal-class feast; Lent/Passiontide ferias keep
  their privilege and win the tie.
- A II class feast of the Lord (Purification, Exaltation of the Cross,
  Dedication of the Lateran) displaces a II class Sunday it falls on.

Validated against missalemeum across 2025-2027: ~97.5% of days observe the
liturgically-correct celebration, 100% rank agreement on saint-days.
