before (although there should be much less lock contention)
* with this change, there is quite a bit of cleanup, text drawing is now
about 20% faster than before the original changes to font caching,
mostly due to turning off the kerning feature, which at the moment
gives absolutely no benefit. The correct way of doing it might be to
use kerning depending on the provided glyph spacing mode
* removed fPenLocation from Painter, the usage should be more correct now,
since it is now consistently applied before the coordinate transformation
from view to screen (also for DrawShape() now, before any view scaling
and origin offset)
* Painter no longer has it's own instance of a ServerFont, instead it uses
its AGGTextRenderer instance, which was per Painter again after the
last change, and not global anymore, made _UpdateFont() useless
* When using GlyphLayoutEngine, it supports a second pass with the same
FontCacheEntry through the introduction of a FontCacheReference. This
speeds up DrawString a little, since it needs to calculate the bounding
box for the string, and then draw the string in a second pass. This is
now done with only one FontCacheEntry lookup
* I also tried to optimize the on-the-fly conversion of UTF8->CharCode away,
since it was done four times per DrawString, but surprisingly, it proofed
to be a slight slowdown.
* introduced a shortcut in DrawingEngine::DrawString() which avoids
calculating the bounding box, we are now a tiny bit faster to figure
out that we don't need to draw any string than Dano
In the test environment (drawing to offscreen bitmap and blitting to
screen eventually), text rendering is now about 3.7 times _faster_ than Dano
text rendering (directly to screen), for untransformed text. Unfortunately
I cannot test on the same machine in accelerant using version of the test
environment.

removed font_support folder
* ServerApp can use ServerFont::StringWidth() directly again
* more ServerFont functions implemented via GlyphLayoutEngine and
custom consumer
* extended GlyphCache data structure to hole the left/right insets
of the glyph shape between its advance width, took it from the earlier
ServerFont implementation, have not tested if that gives same result
as R5
* TODO: implement GetGylphShapes via GlyphCache, although it might not
look as clean as it does now

* the previous AGG implementation is superfluous
* the new implementation is based on that one, but in a way that allows
read/write locking to the list of cache entries (fonts) as well as
read/write locking to the cached glyphs per individual font cache entry
* new GlyphLayoutEngine.h, which is to be the central place for layouting
glyphs along the baseline.
It handles the locking for getting the font cache entries.
It works by giving it a template class GlyphConsumer which does the
actual work.
* changed AGGTextRenderer to use the new font cache
* changed ServerFont::StringWidth(), and the bounding box stuff to use it
* changed DrawingEngine, it doesn't need the global font lock anymore
* our BFont thought that GetBoundingBoxesAsGlyphs and GetBoundingBoxesAsString
is the same, which of course it isn't, hence the two separate functions...
AsGlyphs just gets the bounding box of each glyph in a string, not treating
the string as an actual word
AsString adds the offset of the glyph in the word to the bounding box
* changed ServerProtocol.h accordingly for the different bounding box meaning
