story-to-pack: add the corpora and the catalogue v2/v3

Fourteen corpora split and classified: aesop, bierce, chekhov, holmes,
keefe, lawson, lorimer, maupassant, nobody, plaintales, poe, torchy,
wallingford and winesburg, each with its splitter and the hand-written
groups and pages; catalogue v2 and v3; and the shared splitters
gutenberg_chunks.py, se_split.py and se_build.py.

"""Split the Project Gutenberg text of George and Weedon Grossmith, *The Diary of a Nobody* (1892, eBook #1026),
one story per chapter. It is one continuous diary, a clerk's life at home and in the office, so chapters are
episodes of one world rather than separate tales. The body heads each chapter with `CHAPTER <roman>` and then a
one-paragraph synopsis, which is dropped: it summarises the chapter and would be read as a scene."""
