prune: sweep File Format Processing to the shortlist cap

Browse Source 
Per ADR-0001, restructure first: split MS Office into Excel, Word, and
PowerPoint; mint File Conversion (docling re-homed from General,
markitdown re-homed from Markdown) and HTML-to-PDF (weasyprint re-homed
from PDF). Then cap. xlsxwriter and weasyprint keep their slots via the
Splits (decision reversing their earlier drop verdicts).

Removed (downloads are PyPI last-month via pypistats, 2026-08-14/15):

- xberg (26K/month): xberg-io coordinated self-promotion plant
- xlwings (941K/month): different job (calling Python from Excel), not
  the Excel file-format use case
- docxtpl: templating layer over python-docx, which holds the Word slot
- pyexcel (2.2M/month): abstraction over the per-format libraries that
  hold the slots
- pikepdf (10.6M/month): PDF use case at cap; pypdf, reportlab, and
  pdfminer.six are the obvious choices
- pdf_oxide (142K/month): no adoption evidence against the incumbents
- csvkit (506K/month): not the obvious choice for CSV work
