will.anderson a816b119e7 stage(elp): consolidate scattered lang work — full-lexicon vocabulary + profiles
Backfill ELP vocabulary from FULL lexicons (UniMorph + kaikki.org Wiktionary,
real gender/inflections) for 8 languages, 812,894 entries total, in the proven
seed-fn format matching the 18 ancient vocabularies:
  es 72,032 | fr 130,517 | de 144,692 | la 22,590 | it 193,675 | pt 115,772 |
  ro 86,504 | ca 47,112
4 of these (es fr de la) backfill ELP languages that had morphology but no
vocabulary; it/pt/ro/ca are new Romance (need morphology-*.el ports next).
Adds lang_profile_* for all 8 + reproducible generators under tests/lang-gen.
Vocab is runtime seed data (not in build manifest, like the 18 ancients);
seed-fn format validated to compile to C via elc.

;;; lang_profile_ca.el — Catalan language profile for ELP.
;;; Mirrors lang_profile_it / _es / _pt; keys the realizer's construction switches.
;;; Catalan is the CLOSEST Romance sibling to the shared engine (~85% conceptual
;;; reuse). The deltas: PRONOMS FEBLES with four position allomorphs, l'-elision,
;;; del/al/pel contractions, the periphrastic preterite (vaig+INF), and NO
;;; essere/avere split (perfect aux is always HAVER; ser/estar is only the copula).
