Add July Matins readings for SanctiM-track saints

13 of July's 18 SanctiM-track saints authored (5 left unsourced,
Common-only). Discovered the Monastic calendar keeps a full Octave of
St. Benedict (Jul 11-18), which explains several dates' SanctiM files
not matching their expected saint. Also hit a translation-misalignment
bug on St. Bonaventure's English source (paragraph boundaries don't
line up with the Latin), worked around with an original translation.

# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for Ss. Abdon and Sennen, Martyrs (Jul 30)
# — SanctiM/07-30.txt inherits the whole day (`@Sancti/07-30`) with no
# Nocturn 2/3 override, so this feast's own proper content is sourced
# from the Tridentine track exactly as for a pre-1955 saint (see
# memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints, vu-matins-sanctim-saints).
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/07-30.txt, English/Sancti/07-30.txt.
# Single lesson (simplex-feast Lectio93), one continuous account, no
# responsory given in the source.

Abdon et Sennen Persæ, Decio imperatóre, accusáti quod córpora Christianórum, quæ
inhumáta projiciebántur, in suo prædio sepelissent, jussu imperatóris comprehendúntur,
et diis jubéntur sacrificare. Quod cum fácere neglígerent, et Jesum Christum Deum
constantíssime prædicarent, tráditos in arctam custódiam, Romam póstea rédiens Decius
vinctos duxit in triumpho. Qui cum in Urbe ad simulacra attracti essent, ea detestáti
conspuérunt. Quam ob rem ursis ac leónibus objecti sunt; quos feræ non audébant
attingere. Demum, gládiis trucidati, colligátis pédibus tracti sunt ante solis
simulacrum. Quorum corpora, clam inde asportata, Quirínus diaconus sepelívit in suis
ædibus.

Abdon and Sennen were Persians. In the reign of the Emperor Decius they were accused of
interring, on their own farm, the bodies of Christians, which had been thrown out
unburied. The Emperor commanded them to be arrested and ordered to sacrifice to the
gods. This they refused to do, and persistently preached that Jesus Christ is God,
whereupon they were put into strict confinement. When Decius afterwards returned to
Rome, he had them led in chains in his triumph. Being thus dragged into the city and up
to the idols, they abhorred and spat upon them, for which they were cast to bears and
lions; the beasts were afraid to touch them. They were butchered with the sword, and the
corpses, with their feet bound together, were dragged before the image of the sun.
Thence they were stolen away, and the Deacon Quirinus buried them in his own house.
