It didn't really add anything of value as the glyph bitmap rects and the
bearings were never used together, and the rest of the fields were
entirely redundant. A small step towards using a component system for
text.
With the improved atlas allocation, 2x is no longer needed and 1.2x
seems to be sufficient. Most importantly, it reduced the texture for
amiri-regular.ttf at 72 pix height from 8x to 4x (the staging buffer
isn't big enough for 8k textures).
QFS_LoadFile closes its file argument (this is a design error resulting
from changing QFS_LoadFile to take a file instead of a path and not
completing the update), resulting in the call to Qfilesize accessing
freed memory.
This means that QF should support more exotic fonts without any issue
(once the rest of the text handling system is up to snuff) as HarfBuzz
does all the hard work of handling OpenType, Graphite, etc text shaping,
including kerning (when enabled).
Also, font loading now loads all the glyphs into the atlas (preload is
gone).
