b8debb3050 Content controls: typed text takes the control's formatting, in any language (#3116)
* Content controls: typed text takes the control's formatting, in any language

Text typed in place of a content control's placeholder takes the
control's own run properties (w:sdtPr/w:rPr, ECMA-376 §17.5.2.27), as
in Word: in a protected form filled in Word for Mac, all 17 entered
values carry the style their control's rPr names. WordCraft kept that
rPr only as XML to write back and gave typed text the placeholder's
formatting minus the placeholder style.

It also knew the placeholder style only by its English id,
PlaceholderText. German Word writes Platzhaltertext (the name stays
"Placeholder Text"), so in forms from German Word every entry stayed
grey, on screen and in the saved file, and restoring a placeholder
added a second Placeholder Text style. The style is now found by its
built-in name.

* Content controls: typing drops a showing placeholder's own style

A control without run properties that shows its placeholder: text typed
over it drops the placeholder run's character style whatever its id
and name. Word localizes only the placeholder style's id, but another
program may localize its name too, and the name lookup then misses it.
Restoring a placeholder and new controls keep the name lookup.

* Content controls: keep, show and edit w:sdt (#381)

Content controls are now part of the model instead of being unwrapped on open:
ControlStart/ControlEnd markers around their content (inline or around whole
paragraphs), with table, row and cell wraps for controls around tables,
repeating-section rows and cells. All sdtPr properties round-trip (title, tag,
id, lock, placeholder, temporary, rich/plain text, w14 check box, combo box,
drop-down list, date, picture, building block gallery, w15 repeating
sections); unknown children are kept verbatim. The writer plans per block list
which controls are written inline and which around blocks so the XML always
nests, and drops markers that lost their partner.

Editing: deletions keep a marker whose partner is outside the range, typing
replaces a shown placeholder, emptying a control brings it back, sdtLocked and
contentLocked refuse with a status message. Developer tab with insert
commands, Design Mode, Properties dialog; frames and title tabs on the page,
check boxes toggle on click, list and calendar pickers.
