Flag every em dash, escalate at three per paragraph - #4

Conversation
Split em-dash-overuse into two rules: em-dash (info) flags any em dash, while em-dash-overuse (now warning, up from info) still catches three or more in one paragraph. error stays unused -- measured against Moby-Dick and Walden, 3+ em-dash paragraphs are too common (6-11%) to call zero-false-positive.

examples_ok for em-dash used hyphens standing in for em dashes -- bad typography endorsed as acceptable. Replace with real prose showing correct hyphen and en-dash usage, and add a lone-dash examples_bad fixture (the shape a model reaches for most).
