Fix Beheading of St. John the Baptist's wrong Common category

decollation-of-st-john-baptist.yml's `common` field was set to
common-of-an-apostle -- a mistaken placeholder (he isn't an apostle) that
leaked into the Aug 29 Matins invitatory and the Lauds/Vespers office
bundle. Corrected to common-of-a-martyr, matching the file's own already-
correct `minorHoursCommon` field.

Also corrected a stale comment in the feast's own nocturn-readings file
claiming neither Nocturn 2 nor 3 has a proper responsory: Nocturn 2's own
closing responsory is genuine proper text (not a Commune reference like
Nocturn 3's), and is now authored.
