font: ignore bearing for strikes
This is more robust and simpler. The bearing calculations initially
were bugged, but getting rid of them completely seems better. It is
consistent with other text renderers as well. To simplify things, also
move striking before the additional scale is applied and get rid of the
half-pixel overlapping thing; it is not needed with additive blending.

NIH: add locale-independent string functions
OS or platform-specific locale independent functions are painful to
use and/or not available, so roll our own. Not great but the least
painful and least intrusive.
Passing NULL as argument to %s format specifiers when using the printf
fasmily of functions is not allowed. While some libcs handle it, other
libcs will simply crash.
Another consequence of the trickiness in this code. This codepath for
opaque_box=1 assumes both bm_o and bm_g are set, but if memory
allocation fails somewhere, bm_o could be non-NULL, but bm_g NULL, which
then would result in a crash when accessing bm_g.
Possibly this code could be cleaned up to look much nicer (and not have
dozens of hidden, obscure bugs), but for now this fixes the potential
crash found by Coverity.
The logic here is pretty complicated. The caller of this function guards
it with "if(info->bm || info->bm_o){", and generally indeed only one of
them is set. But in some cases, both are needed. fix_outline()
definitely dereferences both. This is not necessarily guaranteed, e.g.
on out of memory errors. Add the missing checks.

fontselect: fix match_fonts semantics
We don't want to add fonts multiple times, so call match_fonts lazily,
i.e. only after selecting a font with a certain name failed. Since
font matching interacts with glyph coverage checks, add a simple
mechanism to determine whether matching failed because of name or
glyph coverage. Additionally make sure to handle substitutions before
any calls to match_fonts; this only correctly deals with single-name
substitutions, though.
CFRelease(NULL) can crash. While we're still not sure which CoreText API
calls can fail etc. (thanks Apple), this should fix a couple of
theoretically possible crashes.
ass_set_fonts_dir() is supposed to enable all fonts in a specific
directory. The implementation for it was dropped with the commit
introducing the new fontselect code. Some users were relying on it, so
we need it back.
It used to be implemented using a single fontconfig call. But since this
has to work even if fontconfig support is not even compiled, a new
implementation is needed.
This commit adds very simple and low-effort support for it. It loads all
files into memory, and then lets the memory font code do the rest. A
more efficient implementation would be possible, for example by
implementing a new font provider, which serves get_data requests from
open file handles. Anyone who wants to do this is welcome to try, and
this commit is just the minimum to restore the lost feature.

render_api: fix crash when calling ass_set_fonts() after rendering
The caches may reference data which belongs to the font provider. If the
font selector and the font provider are destroyed, it can leave dangling
pointers in the renderer cache. (At least that's what it looks like.)
For some reason, this didn't even trigger valgrind warnings with the
fontconfig font provider. Possibly the dangling pointers were FT_Face
pointers, and fontconfig might cache these process-wide.

font: fix broken charmap fallback handling
An earlier commit added this code to avoid adding font faces multiple

which can lead to text being rendered as boxes.
Return the font that is going to contain the missing glyph instead. The
calling code will check again, and run the fallback if necessary.

ass: make font_provider API private
We were discussing whether this should be public or private. It could be
public, because the API is potentially useful, and is relatively simple.
On the other hand, the API is not necessarily final, and making it
public would prevent us from improving/fixing it.
Make it private for now - making it public later is much easier than
having to break the public API later.

ass: restore ABI compatibility with older versions (more or less)
While enums normally are ints on most systems, it isn't guaranteed. This
might also make C++ code fail to compile, since C++ doesn't allow
implicit conversion of ints to enums.
If the API user ever passed anything other than 0 or 1, compatibility
will still break, but I guess we have to live with this.

fontselect: correctly match list of font substitutions
This code prioritized fonts by scanning order, but the scanning order is
essentially arbitrary. This resulted in suboptimal and indeterministic
font selection by family name.
Prefer the order as returned by the substitution callback. This requires
some restructuring. The core algorithm is still exactly the same though;
only the order of comparisons changes.
If the font backend has no subtitution callback, nothing should change.

Properly skip glyphs for multiple consecutive line breaks
This corrects the calculated width of events that contain \N\N,
which previously included the width of the glyph corresponding
to '\n' (more generally, for n consecutive line breaks, only
the first glyph was skipped and n-1 glyphs were included).
Unfortunately, nobody ever tested the MinGW dwrite.h header in C. There
are multiple glaring mistakes, and the header doesn't even compile by
itself. The main issues are overloaded functions (which doesn't work
in C), and broken COBJMACROS defines.
dwrite.diff contains changes to dwrite.h which make libass work.
Warning: the patch lacks a required change to the DrawInlineObject
method of IDWriteTextRenderer (missing THIS_).
Additionally, these definitions would ideally be provided by dwrite.h:

directwrite: multiple improvements to font scanning
There were various issues with font scanning. This addresses the following:
- Synthesized font faces (bold/oblique) were added to the list. Just skip
those, this is handled internally by libass.
- Use the win32 font family names, if available. Traditionally, Windows
groups font families in a different way, so that the number of
variants is small (<= 4). With this, Arial Narrow and Arial Black
appear as a separate family, which is what we want.
- Full names are not mandatory. Correctly handle the case that there
are no full names.
- Don't use the bogus LOCALE_NAME_MAX_LENGTH constant to determine the
size of the name buffer. Names can be almost arbitrarily long.
Handle names up to 256 characters correctly and truncate longer names.

fontselect: improved and simplified matching
Sorting the font list is overkill and not very useful. We are
interested in *exact* name matches only; all other font families don't
matter and we'll use another fallback mechanism for glyph fallbacks
(TBD).
Replace the sorting and glyph fallback search with a simple linear
scan. Fonts are first matched against family name first (to allow
further comparison against style attributes) and if that fails,
the fullname is considered.
