Sasha Szpakowski 7a0f6621e7 Initial (WIP) Harfbuzz text shaping integration.
This a significant refactor / rewrite of much of the love.graphics Font code.
Text positioning is now split into TextShaper classes in the love.font module. This isn't exposed to users yet.
BMFonts and ImageFonts use the same text shaping as before (in the new TextShaper API). Fonts loaded via FreeType now use Harfbuzz for text shaping.

The new code isn't at feature-parity with the old code yet. Harfbuzz-based text shaping enables kerning support in more fonts, character combining into ligature glyphs, and directions other than left-to-right (this isn't supported in love yet).

Sasha Szpakowski f17d3d94f1 Rename love.graphics Text objects to TextBatch.
The name Text is too generic compared to what they're designed for, it made people unnecessarily confused about their purpose.
