Sylpheed RE agent 1b295e3cd2 re: read all eight caption families — 15x more text, and the same lesson twice
build_caption_text generalises the key parser from MSG_DEMO_* to all eight
families. The shapes are uniform and each family is 100% consistent with its
own: seven use MSG_<FAM>_<id>_<page>_<line>, and VOICE alone inserts a family
letter before the id.

                       ids    lines
  build_demo_text      134      537
  build_caption_text  3721     8074

The DEMO family comes out identical through both readers -- 537 lines either
way -- which is the control that generalising changed nothing that already
worked. Pinned by tests/caption_families_disc.rs, along with VOICE ids keeping
their family letter.

But this does NOT close the gap, and the write-up says so: 8074 against the
44579 text-bearing fields the record-level scan counts is about 18%.

The reason is the same lesson this session already learned once.
build_caption_text pairs a value with the key that happens to follow it in the
raw UTF-16 token stream -- the adjacency heuristic that was wrong for IDXD and
is wrong here for the same reason. ixud.rs has no record/field reader at all.
The IXUD record table IS decoded and verified disc-wide (1104/1104 objects,
628165/628165 fields reproducing their key) and was simply never wired into
the crate.

Next step recorded: give ixud.rs an IdxdObject-shaped reader and read captions
as fields rather than adjacent tokens. The decode exists; only the plumbing is
missing.
