re: correction -- the dialogue table was already in the corpus, and one negative was false

Browse Source 
The previous commit announced message\MissionDialogMessage.tbl as a
find.  structures/ixud-localised-text.md OWNS it and already says
S02_P1_OBJECTIVE and friends are record names in an IDXD map,
message\MissionDialogMessage.tbl, whose positional fields list the
lowercase per-line IXUD names -- and that *_GRAPH is the odd one, a
single named field holding a texture.  I grepped the manifest doc and
not the text doc.  Third overclaim in four days; the rule is now to grep
the doc that owns the DATA, not only the doc that owns the FILE.

Worse, the headline negative was wrong.  MissionDialog_local_string.tbl
DOES resolve -- as language\MissionDialog_local_string.tbl, IXUD, in all
six GP_MAIN_GAME_* paks.  My 33 prefixes omitted language\, which is
precisely the convention ixud-localised-text.md records for language
paks.  A prefix sweep is only as good as its prefix list, and the list
should come from the corpus.

'LOSE has exactly one entry' was wrong too.  Per kind: HINT_PAUSE 4,
HINT 3, LOSE 4, OBJECTIVE 4 positional fields, and GRAPH 1 NAMED field
holding the .t32.  The single-field bucket was GRAPH, not LOSE.

What survives as new: the 11 non-MISSION field values read as a block;
the GP_TEST and TEXTS sibling records; the per-stage phase census; and
the five pgmsg_*.prt resolving nowhere under 34 prefixes x 41 archives,
now with two working controls in the same sweep.

Artefact 8 insertions / 3 deletions, every deleted line replaced by its
corrected form; the other five regenerate byte-identical.
