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.

And the angel came in unto her. Let us learn from this Virgin how to bear ourselves, let us learn her
modesty, let us learn by her devout utterance, above all let us learn by the holy mystery enacted. It is
the part of a maiden to be timid, to avoid the advances of men, and to shrink from men's addresses. Would
that our women would learn from the example of modesty here set before us. She upon whom the stare of men
had never been fixed was alone in her chamber, and was found only by an angel. There was neither companion
nor witness there, that what passed might not be debased in gossip and the angel saluted her.
