Make ZPOB build: its essay was handed in without a bibliography

`./run.sh run Programming/ZPOB` exited 12. A clean-room rebuild (the previous
failure was reading a cached .aux) shows the real error is bibtex, not LaTeX:

    I found no \citation commands---while reading file esej.aux
    I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file esej.aux

esej.tex ends with \bibliography{references} but never cites anything and
never sets a \bibliographystyle. latexmk therefore runs bibtex, bibtex exits
2, and latexmk reports 12 -- after pdflatex has already written a correct
esej.pdf.

Adding \bibliographystyle would make a References section appear that is not
in the deliverable: the submitted esej.pdf (LuaTeX, 2023-12-12, 2 pages) has
no bibliography either, so bibtex never succeeded for the author. The fix
belongs in the harness, so course_lib grows --no-bibtex and ZPOB's stub says
in full why it passes it.

Verified: `rm -rf esej/build && ./run.sh run Programming/ZPOB` exits 0 and
writes esej/build/esej.pdf.
