testfiles: real documents get short names and a source table, personal data is replaced by same-length filler (#203) 
Adds the nineteen real documents under testfiles/ (mail, Office, PDF, ZIP) with short ASCII names. Recipient addresses, names, host names, mailbox identifiers and recipient-bound tokens are replaced by filler of the same length, and the archive is rebuilt from the sanitized members. test_raw_derive_testfiles.py now compares the sheet TSVs too (with a direct test on _texts()), and a real workbook carries a formula needle that only a .formulas.tsv holds. testfiles/README.md gains the provenance table and the two new rules.

When AI agents write both code and test=
