pt-or-px: heed the dpi-aware setting

Before this patch, pt-or-px values, like letter-spacing, were *always*
scaled using the current DPI value.

This is wrong; if the fonts are scaled using the output’s scaling
factor, then so should all other point values.

This also fixes an issue where e.g. letter-spacing would use one DPI
value at startup, but then when increasing/decreasing or resetting the
font size, would be re-calculated using a different DPI value, leading
to completely different spacing.

This happened when there were multiple monitors, with different DPI
values, and foot guessed the initial DPI value wrong. Normally, foot
would correct itself as soon as the window was mapped, and the
“correct” DPI value known. But if the fonts were scaled using the
scaling factor, it was possible that the font reload never happened.

This patch also updates the thickness calculation (for LIGHT and HEAVY
box drawing characters) to use the scaling factor when appropriate.

Closes #680

* Foot now sends `SIGTERM`/`SIGKILL` to the client applications process group,
instead of just to the client applications process.
* `kmous` terminfo capability from `\E[M` to `\E[<`.
* pt-or-px values (`letter-spacing`, etc) and the line thickness
(`tweak.box-drawing-base-thickness`) in box drawing characters are
now translated to pixel values using the monitors scaling factor
when `dpi-aware=no`, or `dpi-aware=auto` and the scaling factor is
larger than 1 (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/680).
