Forms: fields listed only as page widgets join the form (#649)

A PDF whose AcroForm /Fields array is empty or missing listed no
fields, so none were fillable even though every widget sat on a page
with its name and value: Acrobat and the browsers fill those. The page
widgets are now adopted as fields — after the tree-listed ones, through
each widget's topmost unlisted /Parent so a field split across several
widgets stays one — and the leniency is recorded, never silent.

- forms: fields() walks /Fields as before, then adopts the unlisted
  page widgets; adopted_page_fields() counts them for the note.
- render: the inspector's field list adopts them the same way, so the
  Fields panel, the field-count notice and menu gating follow.
- engine: opening such a file notes "the form's /Fields list omits N
  fields; they were read from the page annotations" in the repair log
  (Document Properties ▸ Advanced).
