docs: the six entries the File tab writes, and the two it only shows

The workbench page described the ribbon and the rail and said nothing about the
document information dictionary, which the File tab both shows and writes. It
writes six entries since go-pdfkit/app#96 — the four it had been displaying as
labels are boxes now — and the two dates stay read-only for a reason worth
writing down: nothing in the fleet parses a PDF date, so a box to type one into
is a box in which somebody writes something no reader will show.

With the rule that makes the boxes safe: they are filled from the UNCUT value,
because the panel clips what it shows and a box filled from the clipped text
would cut the file's own value down by way of displaying it.

Covers go-pdfkit/app#96.
