Recombine the remaining 5 Ember-day nocturn-readings files

Same fix as ember-september-friday.yml (already done): each file's
Lectio1-3 turned out to be one continuous, unbroken homily (Bede,
Gregory, or Ambrose's Commentary on Luke for the two Advent cases,
cross-referenced from the Annunciation's own Common and confirmed
contiguous by reading the source file directly), split only to fill
the fixed 3-lesson slot count. Recombined ember-september-wednesday/
-saturday and ember-advent-wednesday/-friday/-saturday into single
readings, keeping each one's first lesson's own responsory.

All 6 Ember days now recombined -- no remaining split-for-no-reason
readings in this family. Updated ember-days.test.ts's lesson-count
table accordingly.
