Add August sanctoral content: 10 saints/feasts
Continues the full-year sanctoral import: Ss. Tiburtius and Susanna, Ss.
Hippolytus and Cassian, the Vigil of the Assumption, St. Joachim (Duplex
II Classis, own full proper content), St. Hyacinth, St. John Eudes, St.
Jane Frances de Chantal, the Immaculate Heart of the BVM (Duplex II
Classis, instituted 1942, full proper content), St. Joseph Calasanctius,
and St. Raymond Nonnatus.

Several of the new fixed dates (Aug 16, 17, 21, 22) fall within or
adjacent to St. Lawrence's and the Assumption's overlapping octave
windows and now win outright there under the ordinary-feria/ordinary-
sunday precedence rules, displacing what several existing tests
expected to be bare octave commemorations or ferial fallbacks. Updated:

- august-sanctoral.test.ts: Aug 22 now correctly shows the Immaculate
  Heart of Mary as the winner, with the Assumption's octave still
  commemorated alongside her.
- day-label.test.ts: the two octave-priority tests pinned to Aug 17
  (now St. Hyacinth's own day) moved their "day 8 alone" case to All
  Saints' own octave (Nov 8, still open); the two-octaves-overlap
  comparison can no longer be demonstrated via any real date in this
  app since every day where St. Lawrence's and the Assumption's octaves
  genuinely overlap is now real sanctoral content -- the underlying
  `pickWinningOctave` mechanism itself stays covered by
  tests/calendar/octaves.test.ts's own synthetic-data unit test.
- vespers.test.ts: the Thursday Ps 138 split test moved off Aug 20,
  whose own first Vespers is now claimed by St. Jane Frances de
  Chantal's fixed day (Aug 21).

Hippolytus, a sancto Lauréntio baptizatus, domi suæ, dum Eucharistiam
sumeret, comprehénsus, et ad Valerianum imperatórem adductus, ab eo de
suæ religiónis professióne interrogátus, líbere se Christianum proféssus
est. Quam ob rem fustibus cæditur; quibus in verbéribus cum ejus fides
constantior invenirétur, munéribus et honórum promissis tentátur. Quæ
cum ómnia frustra diceréntur, præfecto occidendus traditur. Qui, domum
Hippolyti veniens, ut ejus facultates publicaret, totam familiam
christianam esse cognoscit; atque, iis a christiana fide frustra
deterritis, primum plumbátis cæsa Concordia, Hippolyti nutríce, quæ
ceteros confirmábat, réliquos extra portam Tiburtinam occídi jubet.
Hippolytus, indómitis equis raptátus per loca tríbulis et cárduis
cónsita, lacerato corpore, spíritum Deo réddidit, unáque cum réliquis a
Justino presbytero ad agrum Veranum sepúltus est. Eadem die, ad Forum
Syllæ, crudelíssimo supplicio afféctus est Cassianus Martyr; qui,
vinctis post terga mánibus, puerórum, quos erudiebat, férreis stylis
configendus excarnificandúsque traditur. Quorum quanto erat infirmior
vis, tanto ejus pœna martyrii gravior ac diuturnior, pálmaque
illustrior.

Hippolytus was one of those baptized by St. Lawrence. He was arrested in
his own house while he was taking the Holy Communion. He was brought
before the Emperor Valerian, and, when he was asked by him touching his
religious profession, he freely confessed that he was a Christian.
Wherefore he was beaten with clubs, but when his faith was found only
the bolder under the blows, he was tempted with promises of gifts and
honours. Then when words were found only to be thrown away upon him, he
was given over to the Prefect to be put to death. The Praefect went to
the house of Hippolytus to take possession of his goods, and there
found that all the household were Christians. He strove in vain to awe
them into the denial of their faith, and then ordered Concordia, the
nurse of Hippolytus, who was encouraging the rest, to be beaten to
death with whips loaded with lead, and afterwards the others to be
slain outside the gate that leadeth toward Tivoli. Hippolytus was tied
to wild horses which dragged him through rough places full of briars
and thistles, until with a mangled body he resigned his soul to God.
Justin the Priest buried him along with the others. On the same day,
at Imola, the martyr Cassian was put to a most cruel death. He was a
schoolmaster, and was given up to his scholars, with his hands bound
behind his back, to be stabbed and torn to death with steel pens.
Owing to the weakness of the means, the suffering of his martyrdom was
very grievous and long, and his palm all the more glorious.
