Chris Waldon aa2a948b86 text,widget: [API] drop runereader based shaping API
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.

Chris Waldon 5d6cc2892d text: consume io.Reader in shaper
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.

Chris Waldon 5b40d3cd47 text: provide start of paragraph glyph marker
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.

Chris Waldon bfb47538aa text: ensure runereader behaves same as string
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.

Chris Waldon 2db1a7bfb9 go.*,text: implement shaper-driven line truncation
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.

Chris Waldon b7d126e24c font/{gofont,opentype},text,widget{,/material}: [API] add font fallback and bidi support
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.
