Wez Furlong 3fae59b01b fonts: use cap-height metric to scale fallback fonts
we now compute the ratio of the cap height (the height of a capital
letter) vs. the em-square (which relates to our chosen point size) to
understand what proportion of the font point-size that a given font
occupies when rendered.

When rendering glyphs from secondary fonts we can use the cap height
ratios of both to scale the secondary font such that its effective
cap height matches that of the primary font.

In plainer-english: if you mix say bold, italic and regular text
style in the same line, and you have different font families for
those fonts, then they will now appear to be the same height where
previously they may have varied more noticeably.

For emoji and symbol fonts there may not be a cap-height metric
encoded in the font.  We can however, improve our scaling: prior
to this commit we'd use the ratio of the cell metrics of the two
fonts to scale the icon/emoji glyph, but this could cause the glyph
to be slightly oversized as seen in https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/624

If we know the cap-height of the primary font then we can additionaly
apply that factor to scale the emoji to better fit the cell.

While looking at this, I noticed that the aspect ratio calculation
for when to apply to the allow_square_glyphs_to_overflow_width option
had width and height flipped :-(
