a063d20cf0 wezterm: improve shaping of emoji
This is one of those massive time sinks that I almost regret...
As part of recent changes to dust-off the allsorts shaper, I noticed
that the harfbuzz shaper wasn't shaping as well as the allsorts one.

This commit:

* Adds emoji-test.txt, a text file you can `cat` to see how well
  the emoji are shaped and rendered.

* Fixes (or at least, improves) the column width calculation for
  combining sequences such as "deaf man" which was previously calculated
  at 3 cells in width when it should have just been 2 cells wide, which
  resulted in a weird "prismatic" effect during rendering where the
  glyph would be rendered with an extra RHS portion of the glyph across
  3 cells.

* Improved/simplified the clustering logic used to compute fallbacks.
  Previously we could end up with some wonky/disjoint sequence of
  undefined glyphs which wouldn't be successfully resolved from a
  fallback font.  We now make a better effort to consolidate runs of
  undefined glyphs for fallback.

* For sequences such as "woman with veil: dark skin tone" that occupy a
  single cell, the shaper may return 3 clusters with 3 glyphs in the
  case that the font doesn't fully support this grapheme.  At render
  time we'd just take the last glyph from that sequence and render it,
  resulting in eg: a female symbol in this particular case.  It is
  generally a bit more useful to show the first glyph in the sequence
  (eg: person with veil) rather than the gender or skin tone, so the
  renderer now checks for this kind of overlapping sequence and renders
  only the first glyph from the sequence.
