code: modularize function special, split specials.pl

Great work to modularise specials.

Thinking about issue #626 lately, I realised the functions that do perform formatting "too early" are those script functions mainly found in horas.pl. So I have been thinking about bringing all those called by the & directive into a single file, e.g. horasscripts.pl. As such, I wonder if Martyrology and Antiphonas finalis shouldn't become # sections covered by specials already? I guess this could have an impact on the epubgen so I'm hesitant as of now. What do you think, Father and @mbab ?

Additionally, I think those scripts called by missa as well (like do_io.pl , dialogcommon.pl , etc. ) should go into the DivinumOfficium folder?

As there is already #Martyrology in Prima.txt I bet You can try.

Maybe we should keep in ordinarium only skeleton and add middle level file (can't find proper name) with content as

[De Officio Capituli]
$Deus in adjutorium iij
&Gloria
$MLitany2
$respice
&Gloria
$Oremus
$dirigere
$Amen

After much consideration I think above was daft idea.

Certainly. And it doesn't look like it would be difficult to convert it into a perl modules

As for #626 I have idee:
change specials to ordinarium compiler which outputs something like:

[...
['Psalterium/Translate#Hymnus', sub { $_[0] =~ s/^/#/ }]
['Psalterium/Minor Special#Hymnus Tertia', sub { # apply doxology, initial etc. }]
...]

generally 'source' of text from database + function which will perform necessary operation on it in next step,
output of such compilation can be linked for specified language to something like markdown, which can serve as base for HTML (and other formats) output.
This will make obsolete "vernacular" variables (as %winner2), translate and prayer functions and I believe should make code cleaner.
But I'm a bit worry about performance and size of work to implement this.

I'm giving notification to this for @APMarcello3 & @FAJ-Munich as I doubt my reply reached you.
