Mauro MazzieriandClaude Opus 5.5 0820eaebb7 #1290: write the watermark to DOCX as a VML text shape in the headers
The DOCX writer dropped settings.watermark, so a watermark read from Word
(or set in WordCraft) was lost on save. Every header part now starts its
first paragraph with a VML shape (ECMA-376 Part 4) whose v:textpath carries
the text, font, fill colour, semitransparency (v:fill opacity) and diagonal
turn, centred on the margins behind the text, with the reader's
PowerPlusWaterMarkObject id so it reads back as the watermark, not a shape.
The shape type is our own: a straight path the text follows, fitted to the
box. Slots the pages show with no header of their own or linked from an
earlier section (default; first page with a title page; even pages with
even/odd headers) get a header holding only the watermark; linked sections
stay linked. A blank watermark isn't written. Check Compatibility no longer
warns about watermarks.
