Strengthen the Immaculate Conception's and Nativity BVM's octaves too

Same `wins: duplex` override as the Assumption's and Pentecost's
octaves, applied to two more common-class octaves. Accepted side
effect: St. Damasus (Dec 11) and St. Nicholas of Tolentino (Sep 10),
both Semiduplex, no longer tie-and-win an ordinary octave day here --
they're now commemorated instead of winning outright.
