font: load fallback fonts on demand
When instantiating a primary font, build the fallback font list, but
don't actually instantiate the fallback fonts.

Instead, remember the (full) pattern that we should use if/when we
instantiate it.

Then, when looking up a glyph and we need a fallback font, loop the
list and instantiate the font(s) there and then.

font: load all fallbacks when instantiating a primary font
The caching of fallback fonts didn't work. It "worked" because we
didn't free the fonts... When we started doing that, the fallback
fonts were no longer cached.

Another solution would have been to keep the cached fallback fonts
around until exit, and free them there. But that didn't seem very
clean.

So, for now, load *all* fallbacks when instantiating a
primary (non-fallback) font.

Note that this slows down initial startup time.

font: cache top-level fonts
This greatly improves the performance when loading user-configured
fallback fonts.

Previously, we had to re-load these fallback fonts over and over again
for each (new) glyph.

font: initial support for fontconfig font fallback
When we've exhausted our own fallback list, try the font list provided
by fontconfig.

This means, the user's fallback fonts have priority, but in case all
of them fail, we hopefully get lucky with fontconfig...

cell: pack more efficiently and store glyph as a wchar
The 'attributes' struct is now 8 bytes and naturally packed (used to
be 9 bytes, artificially packed).

'cell' struct is now 12 bytes, naturally packed (used to be 13 bytes,
artificially packed).

Furthermore, the glyph is stored as a wchar instead of a char*. This
makes it easier (faster) to do glyph lookup when rendering.

font: initial support for double-width *and* color emoji glyphs
Fonts are now loaded with FT_LOAD_COLOR and we recognize and support
the FT_PIXEL_MODE_BGRA pixel mode.

This is mapped to a CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32 surface, that is blitted
as-is (instead of used as a mask like we do for gray and mono glyphs).

Furthermore, since many emojis are double-width, we add initial
support for double-width glyphs.

These are assumed to always be utf8. When PRINT:ing an utf8 character,
we check its width, and add empty "spacer" cells after the cell with
the multi-column glyph.

When rendering, we render the columns in each row backwards. This
ensures the spacer cells get cleared *before* we render the glyph (so
that we don't end up erasing part of the glyph).

Finally, emoji fonts are usually bitmap fonts with *large*
glyphs. These aren't automatically scaled down. I.e. even if we
request a glyph of 13 pixels, we might end up getting a 100px glyph.

To handle this, fontconfig must be configured to scale bitmap
fonts. When it is, we can look at the 'scalable' and 'pixelsizefixup'
properties, and use these to scale the rendered glyph.

font: add support for fallback fonts
A top-level font now has a list of fallback fonts. When a glyph cannot
be found, we try each fallback font in turn, until we either find one
that has the glyph, or until we've exhausted the list.

To make this actually work in practise (read: to make performance
acceptable), the cache is re-worked and is now populated on demand.

It also supports non-ASCII characters, by using the 4-byte unicode
character as index instead.

Since having an array that can be indexed by a 4-byte value isn't
really viable, we now have a simple hash table instead of an array.

font: add font_glyph_for_utf8()
This function fills in a struct glyph with glyph bitmap data for the
provided utf-8 character (essentially a FT_Bitmap wrapped in a cairo
surface).

initial grid implementation
This allows us to render *something*, even though it's inefficient,
stupid and far far away from the real thing.
