Preserve the EndFrac termination marker for numeric fractions.

When $ClearSpeak_Fractions='EndFrac', this rule matches the fraction but ends after the numerator. It does not emit 分数終了. Large numeric fractions therefore lose the required termination marker after this change.

Add the same conditional marker used by the other EndFrac rules, and add a regression test.

Proposed fix

+      if: "$ClearSpeak_Fractions='EndFrac'"

Update all duplicated common-fraction predicates.

common-fraction accepts 3/128, but the EndFrac exception and all four nested-* exponent rules still require a numerator <20 and denominator 2..10. As a result, 3/128 can fall through to default-exponent-power and lose the special square/cube wording. The stale EndFrac predicate can also add 分数終了 incorrectly. Mirror the new numeric definition and add regressions for all four nested exponent shapes and the EndFrac case.
