fix: a table style's paragraph spacing no longer overrides the cell's own style

Word ranks a table style's w:pPr under the paragraph style, so a style zeroing
w:after does not take the space after off a Normal that declares one — probed
against soffice, which keeps 8pt there while its w:line=240 still beats
docDefaults' 276. Read as an override, every cell paragraph lost its spacing.
Spacing in a cell now layers docDefaults ← table style ← the paragraph's own
chain (baked in, since a cell carries no style name) ← direct w:pPr.

Corpus 934 → 900; the fixture it was measured on 66 → 34, its page count exact
for the first time (50 against 50, from 44).

**A table style's `w:pPr` ranks *below* the paragraph style**, so a cell's spacing layers
docDefaults ← the table style ← the cell paragraph's own style chain ← direct `w:pPr`
(`paragraphSpacing(id, under)`). The chain has to be baked in because a cell carries no
style name; read as an override the way a table style zeroing `w:after` reads, every table
loses the space after its cells' paragraphs and a long document comes out pages short.
Body text with no resolved font falls back to the *document's own theme minor font*
(`docx.ts` `runMarks`), not the editor default — Word's implicit body default. Headings don't
(they keep the editor heading default); DOCX page margins default to Word's 2.54cm.
