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 three Project Gutenberg volumes of Sewell Ford's Torchy stories into one corpus, one story per
+chapter (each chapter is a self-contained episode): *Torchy* (#20626), *On With Torchy* (#17301) and
+*Torchy, Private Sec.* (#20627), in that order, which is the order of his rise from office boy.
+Chapter titles come from each volume's contents; the body heads each chapter with a bare
+`CHAPTER <roman>` line, and those must number 1..N with N equal to the contents count.
+
+KNOWN DEFECT, kept on purpose: volumes 1 and 3 end in the publisher's advertisements, which this script
+does not cut, so they ran into the last chapter of each. Chunks 245, 736 and 737 are advertising only;
+chunks 244 and 735 are the real end of a story followed by the start of the advertising. They are listed in
+NOT_STORY.json and excluded from grouping. The script was not changed afterwards, because readers had
+already written records against these chunk numbers and cutting the advertising in volume 1 would shift
+every later id. Fix it (stop each volume at its GROSSET & DUNLAP line) only together with a renumbering
+of claude/batches."""
