Commit https://gioui.org/commit/b331407e81456 added text layout and shaping
based on io.Reader and changed Editor to use it. Unfortunately, as ~inkeliz
discovered, caching of shapes were also lost.
~inkeliz suggested fix,
https://lists.sr.ht/~eliasnaur/gio-patches/patches/15059
adds caching of shapes to Editor to regain lost performance.
This change repairs the cache to work on io.Reader API, in hope that the
already complicated Editor won't need additional caching.
Before this change, text layouts were represented as a slice of (rune, advance)
pairs. Unfortunately, this representation doesn't lend itself to caching of
shaping results, so change the representation of a line of text to be a pair
of text and advances:
package text
type Layout {
Text string
Advances []fixed.Int26_6
}
The Text field can then be used in a cache key, assuming Advances is
consistent with it.
The end result is that the two shaper variants of text.Shaper is reduced to
just one, and the Len field field of text.Line is no longer needed.
The changed representation adds a bit of extra work to package opentype.
Cleaning that up is left as a future TODO.

Implementations of text.Face are reused across multiple windows for efficiency.
Make the opentype implementation safe for concurrent use and document it.

It's not used in text shaping, so let's not require it.
Note that the concrete opentype package still retains the Metrics
implementation.

First, replace LayoutOptions with an explicit maximum width parameter. The
single-field option struct doesn't carry its weight, and I don't think we'll
see more global layout options in the future. Rather, I expect options to cover
spans of text or be part of a Font.
Second, replace the unit.Converter with an scaled text size. It's simpler and
allow the Editor and similar widgets to easily detect whether their cached
layouts are stale. Package text no longer depends on package unit, which is
now dealt with at the widget-level only.
Finally, remove the Size field from Font. It was a design mistake: a Font is
assumed to cover all sizes, as evidenced by the FontRegistry disregarding
Size when looking up fonts.

In preparation for using Shaper with an io.Reader, rework the API to not refer
to strings. In particular, introduce Glyph for holding the rune in addition to
the advance. For fast traversing of the underlying text, add Len to Line with
the UTF8 length.
Layout is a useless wrapper around []Line; remove it while we're
here.

MacroOp is about to lose the ability to run a different operation list
than the one it was recorded on. Text shape caches rely on that property,
and must use the new CallOp operation added for purpose.

There is now a single shaping implementation, Shaper, for all fonts, replacing
Family that only covered a single typeface.
A typeface is identified by a name, where the empty string denotes the
default typeface.
Font is introduced to specify a particular font from the typeface, style,
weight and size.
Face is changed to an interface for a particular layout and shaping method.
The text/shape package is renamed to text/opentype and contains a Face
implementation based on golang.org/x/image/font/sfnt.
