sectProt_section0-notEnforced.docx: forms protection NOT enabled

Round-tripping loses all information about which sections Word had marked as
protected.  That makes sense because Word has a "kill switch" which turns off
all protection. LO previously had the opposite "force complete protection"
compatibility switch "Protect Forms".  So, on import we have to mark every
section as not-protected when "Protect Forms" is off. Either the section
protection setting will need to be grabbag'd for round-tripping, or else
"Protect Forms" will need to be changed into a kill switch.

So, this isn't actually terrible. Rarely would someone pass around a
section-protected document with protection disabled.  And if they do want to
protect it again, they just need to tick which sections are protected again.
