The io.Reader based API has the potential to be significantly more
efficient, and there are very few users of the runereader API. This
commit simply drops it entirely in favor of the reader API.

io.Reader is actually a more efficient interface than io.RuneReader,
as we can pull bytes out and check for cache hits without doing
redundant rune<->string conversions. This isn't implemented yet,
however.

This commit adds a new flag to glyphs indicating that they are the
beginning of a new paragraph, as well as adding a guarantee that a
glyph with this flag will always follow a glyph with FlagParagraphBreak,
even if a paragraph break is the last rune in the text. This helps
widgets to find the boundaries and positions of text ending with
newlines reliably.

This commit fixes a subtle discrepancy in the handling of text input
within the shaper. Text provided as an io.RuneReader with a trailing
newline would generate an extra (empty) line of text, whereas the
same input provided as a string would not.

This commit pushes limiting the maximum number of lines of text into
the shaper implementation. This is more efficient than doing it in
widgets, and also opens the door for future use of the shaper to
insert ellipsis and other truncating characters as appropriate.
I realized that we lost the implementation of limiting the number of
lines of text in my text stack overhaul, so this fixes a regression
from that work.

This commit restructures the entire text shaping stack to enable lines of shaped text to
have non-homogeneous properties like which font face they belong to and which direction
a segment of text is going.
The text package now provides a concrete type text.Shaper which can be used to convert
strings into sequences of renderable text.Glyphs. At a high level, the API is used
like this:
// Prepare some fonts.
var collection []text.FontFace
// Make a shaper with those fonts loaded.
shaper := text.NewShaper(collection)
// Shape a string.
shaper.LayoutString(text.Parameters{
PxPerEm: fixed.I(12),
}, 0, 100, system.Locale{}, "Hello")
// Iterate the glyphs from that string.
for glyph, ok := shaper.NextGlyph(); ok; glyph, ok = shaper.NextGlyph() {
// Convert the glyph data into a path. In real uses, convert batches of glyphs
// rather than single glyphs to reduce the number of individual paths and offsets
// required to display your text.
shape := shaper.Shape([]text.Glyph{glyph})
// Offset the glyph to the position it declares within its fields. This will
// automatically handle correct bidirectional text glyph positioning.
offset := op.Offset(image.Pt(glyph.X.Floor(), int(glyph.Y))).Push(gtx.Ops)
// Create a clip area from the shape of the glyph.
area := clip.Outline{Path: shape}.Push(gtx.Ops)
// Paint whatever the current color is within the glyph's shape.
paint.PaintOp{}.Add(gtx.Ops)
area.Pop()
offset.Pop()
}
This API will transparently handle both font fallback (choosing appropriate fonts
from those loaded when the primary font doesn't contain a required glyph) and
bidirectional text (mixed left-to-right and right-to-left text). Glyphs are
iterated in order of the input runes, not their visual order, but proper use
of the provided offsets will ensure that text always displays correctly.
Thanks to Elias Naur for suggesting this glyph iterator strategy. It let us cut
through a lot of accumulated complexity from trying to match our old text APIs,
meaning that this change actually is a net negative change in lines of code.
This commit consumes the upstream github.com/go-text/typesetting/shaping API
now that my prior work is merged there, removing the need for the font/opentype/internal
package entirely.
As part of my efforts, I fuzzed both the low-level text shaping stack and the
editor widget extensively. I've committed regression tests found that way into
the appropriate testdata files to ensure the fuzzer re-checks them.

Use binary.LittleEndian directly instead of going through the
binary.Write indirection. This allows the following optimizations to
occur:
- We can reuse our own byte slice between iterations
- We don't have to put g.ID in an interface value
- h doesn't escape
- PutUint32 gets inlined
On top of that, the argument to maphash.Hash.Write doesn't escape, so b
doesn't move to the heap.

These fields are no longer needed with the new text shaper.
Advances is redundant to the glyph information, and Text
should never be used during layout, as you should
traverse the cluster list instead. This commit also removed
the now-unused string field from the path LRU cache key.

This commit introduces a new text shaping infrastructure
powered by Benoit Kugler's Go source-port of harfbuzz.
This shaper can properly display complex scripts and RTL
text. This commit changes the signature of the text.Shaper
function, which is a breaking API change.
The new functionality is available via opentype.ParseHarfbuzz,
which configures a text.Shaper leveraging the new backend.

With this change, the Shape function returns a clip.PathSpec
instead of a clip.Outline op. It is then possible to create
a clip.Outline or clip.Stroke op to fill the text path or
draw its stroke.

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.

A slice of FontFace pairs are simpler, and thread safe in case a client

Before this change, package font implemented a global font registry,
with the usual problems of package global state.
This change deletes the global registry and introduces the text.Collection
type for representing a list of fonts and their faces. Collection exports
Lookup that finds the closest match and its face.
The existing FontRegistry is renamed to Cache to reflect its new limited
functionality: a cache of shapes and measurements on top of a Collection.
Then, material.NewTheme is changed to take a Collection and initialize
a Cache.
Updates gio#19 because multiple windows require a separate (writable) Cache per
window, while (read-only) Collections may be shared.

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

Before this change, the default font was the one registered with an empty
Typeface.
We're about to use the correct names for fonts, so change Shaper to
fallback to the first registered typeface instead.

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.
