Add May Matins readings for SanctiM-track saints

12 of May's 13 SanctiM-track saints authored (1 left unsourced, Common-only). Resolves an old loose end from the pre-1955 pass: St. Romanus Abbot does have a real SanctiM file after all, it's just Common-only with no proper Lectio content, which looked like a missing file until actually opened. Also the first isGospel:true case since January (Ss. Philip and James's Nocturn 3 has a full Gospel pericope, not a bare incipit).

+        Bonifatius, civis Romanus, quod cum Aglaë nobili matrona impudíce versátus esset, tanto
+        illíus intemperantiæ dolóre captus est, ut pœniténtiæ causa se ad conquirenda et
+        sepelienda Mártyrum córpora contulerit. Itaque, relictis peregrinatiónis sociis, cum
+        Tarsi multos propter christianæ fidei professiónem variis tormentis cruciatos vidísset;
+        illórum víncula osculátus, eos veheméntius hortabátur, ut constanter supplícia
+        perferrent, quod brevem labórem sempiterna requies consecutura sit. Comprehénsus ígitur,
+        férreis ungulis excarnificátus est; cui étiam inter mánuum ungues et carnem acúti cálami
+        sunt infixi, plumbumque liquefactum in os ejus infusum. Quibus in cruciátibus ea vox
+        tantum Bonifatii audiebátur: Gratias tibi ago, Dómine Jesu Christe, Fili Dei. Mox in
+        ollam ferventis picis demisso cápite conjéctus est; unde cum inviolátus exísset, ira
+        incénsus judex eum secúri pércuti jubet. Quo témpore magnus terræmotus factus est, ita ut
+        multi infidéles ad Christi Dómini fidem converteréntur. Eum sequénti die quæréntes socii,
+        cum martyrio afféctum cognovíssent, quingentis solidis ejus corpus redemérunt, et
+        condítum unguentis linteisque involutum Romam portándum curarunt. Quod factum cum ab
+        Angelo Aglaë matrona, quæ et ipsa pœnitens se piis opéribus addixerat, cognovísset,
+        prodiens obviam sancto corpori, ecclésiam ejus nómine ædificávit; in qua corpus sepúltum
+        est Nonis Junii, cum ejus ánima pridie Idus Maji apud Tarsum Ciliciæ urbem migrasset in
+        cælum, Diocletiáno et Maximiáno imperatóribus.

+        Boniface was a Roman citizen who had lived in sin with the noble lady Aglae. The memory of
+        this transgression overwhelmed him with exceeding sorrow, so that for penance he gave
+        himself up to look for and bury the bodies of the martyrs. While he was at Tarsus, and
+        apart from his fellow-travellers, he saw a great many persons being diverse ways
+        tormented, because they confessed to believing in Christ. He kissed their chains, and
+        vehemently exhorted them bravely to bear their sufferings, seeing that the same their
+        affliction which was but for a moment, was working for them an exceeding, even an eternal
+        weight of glory. For this cause Boniface also was taken, and his flesh torn off him with
+        iron claws. Sharp reeds also were driven between his finger-nails and the quick, and
+        molten lead poured into his mouth. In his agony he was only heard to say: I thank thee, O
+        Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God. Afterward he was dipped head foremost into a vessel of
+        boiling pitch, and as he was drawn out unharmed, the judge in fury commanded him to be
+        beheaded. At the time it was done there was a great earthquake, whereby many unbelievers
+        were turned to believe in the Lord Christ. The fellow-travellers of Boniface sought him
+        the next day, and when they knew that he had undergone martyrdom, they bought his body
+        for fifty shillings, and after that they had embalmed it with spices, and wrapped it in
+        linen, they carried it to Rome. The Lady Aglae, who had herself with great contrition
+        given up her life to godly works, was told by an angel what had come to pass. She
+        therefore went forth to meet the holy body, and built a Church in the name of Boniface,
+        wherein his said body was buried upon the fifth day of June next after that fourteenth of
+        May whereon in the city of Tarsus in Cilicia, under the Emperors Diocletian and Maximian,
+        he had passed away to heaven.
