All the different ligature removal calls are becoming more and more a
problem, because we have only one config.json for all fonts in a
font-root-directory. But the Noto variants have the ligatures in
different lookups. With the new font we finally remove lookups in the
new font that have a completely different contents then the lookups we
wanted to remove in the other family.
So the config.json is becoming more flexible: Now first we seach in the
concrete font file directory and only if there is no config we progress
to the font root directory and search there.

[why]
The config.cfg settings can be wrong if the to-be-patched font does not
set its own. The previous settings are never cleared, so that the flags
leak into the next font(s).
This is only relevant when the run is not parallel (i.e. no -j given) and
all fonts are patched sequentially in the same shell.
On parallel runs (like the release process) this is not a problem
because each patcher runs in its own subshell.

Maybe it is not a good idea to always create the log file, as most
people will never look into it. The main reason for it was the
gotta-patch-em script so that one can check after lots of runs what the
details were.
[how]
Introduce parameter to --debug option.
0 = no debug output
1 = log to file only (previously always selected)
2 = log to stdout only
3 = log to file and stdout (previous default for --debug)
Just specifying --default equals now --debug 2.
The gotta-patch-em runs now with --debug 1.

Some sourcefonts, even that are monospaced, have a `fi` and/or `fl`

[how]
Partially revert commit

for the cases that have a one-cell `fi`, `fl`, etc ligature, or a `ldot`
related ligature - that is active by default. Discretionary ligatures or
Stylistic Sets are not changed.
Do the removal on all patched fonts for consistency, not just `Nerd Font Mono`.
[note]
On Noto different subtables are needed for Sans, Serif and Sans-Mono. We
can not set up different configs for each, so all are tried in all fonts
and might fail (this is normal).
Same holds for OpenDyslexic Alta, Regular, Mono, Bold...

[how]
Replace the function the font-info.md file had with README.md.
Drop all the variation lists.
Automatically call the readme creation in the gotta-patch-em instead of
just hinting that one should call that (standardize-and-complete-readmes.sh).
[why]
The special Hack postprocessing does this:
* Add a dummy signature
* Set fsType to zero
* run ttfautohint on the font
There once has been reason to do this (probably), but on currently
supported fontforges this is not needed anymore.
* Fonts run fine without the signature
* fsType is anyhow zero, set by fontforge
* the preexisting hinting is kept by fontforge
(furthermore: We do not want hints for the symbols usually)
Double-checked source and patched font with ttx, instructions (hints)
are definitively existing and equal in the patched font.
So we do not need any of this special postprocessing anymore.

If the license file is not in the same folder as the font file or its
parent directory it will not be copied.

├── fonts.scale
├── L

│ │ └── Meslo LG L Bold for Powerline.ttf
│ ├── config.cfg

├── LICENSE.txt
└── README.rst
All LICENSE.txt files will be copied, but only the last one will 'win'.

The messages from parallel font-patcher runs can be very confusing, so
it has been disabled some time ago (without a comment in that commit?!).
However, if someone wants to repatch multiple fonts on a local machine
it might be beneficial to run more than one process to have work on all
cores.
[how]
Add option to select multiple processes in parallel.
Limit the amout to 8, which might be a good value for typical end-user
machines with 4 cores and 8 threads.
Patching Cascadia Code (12 fonts) took these times on my machine:
1 job: 21m 55s
4 jobs: 6m 24s
8 jobs: 5m 14s (this runs 8 and then the remaining 4)
16 jobs: 4m 48s (this runs 12 in parallel)
Adding a proper `-j` that takes a numeric argument is rather too much
work for my taste, so we stick with 8 for now.

Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>
[why]
When working on the font-patcher the developer needs to test the changes
on a number of fonts. This is usually a manual call of `font-patcher`
and afterwards a 'diff' of the newly created font with the 'old' font in
the patched-fonts/ directory with fontforge (which has a font-compare
option).
If you run gotta-patch-em-all normally the newly generated font will
replace the existing font and git will ALWAYS show it as different. The
reason is that at least the timestamp in the generated font has changed.
Far more easy would be if the new gotta-patch-em-all run could keep the
previous timestamps, in that way one can immediately see that the old
and new fonts are bitwise equal (via git).
Furthermore if you expect a change and want to show the differences of
old and new font in fontforge you need both fonts in the filesystem.
But a normal gotta-patch-em-all run replaces the font. A different
destination folder would help here.
[how]
Introduce two new (independent) options to
a) keep the timestamp equal to previous patch run
b) generate the fonts in a different directory
While b) is straight forward, a) is a bit more complicated, esp because
filenames can change and so on. So the script examines just one (1)
random font in the specific font directory and uses its timestamp. In
most cases this is correct enough if the developer uses gotta-patch-em-all
consequently.

[why]
All the fonts will have different timestamps, and within each font the
creation and modification date might also differ. That is quite
confusing and makes automated testing very complicated.
[how]
Use one date-time for ALL fonts and for creation and modification date
in the font file.
But do not change the date-time if we already set that somewhere before :-}
Also remove the 'special' properitary fontforge timestamp tables FFTM from
the patched fonts. This is only possible since FontForge 20th Anniversary
Edition.

remove them.

Usually if a terminal supports ligatures at all it has an option to

It was only present in v2.0.0, and the code has been broken with v2.1.0.

When the source font is proportional we can not really create a
monospaced (patched) font from it. The glyph width is for example very
small for 'i' but wide for 'W'.
The glyphs are all left aligned, leaving very strange separation between
smallish glyphs.
Even if we would center the glyphs, the look would be strange and
completely differenmt from the source font's look.
[how]
For proportional fonts do not allow to patch with `--mono`.
The fact if a source font is monospaced is determined by examining some
(very few) glyphs. But testing all our source fonts in the repo shows
that it is sufficient.
Furthermore the Panose flag is checked and differences between the flag
and what the glyph examination found are reported.
The user can enforce `Nerd Font Mono` generation with double specifying
the command line option `--mono --mono`. Still a warning will be issued.
[note]
Because `gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher!.sh` does not really count the
variations but calculates them in a separate loop it does not know
anymore how many variations are created per family. The numbers are
wrong.
But probably we should count the result font files in the end anyhow.
Because the information is not needed (in an automated manner) this is
not corrected here.
It seems wrong anyhow:
total_variation_count=$((total_variation_count+combination_count))
total_count=$((total_count+complete_variations_per_family+combination_count))

Instead of dropping the stderr we store it in an envvar; and output it
to stdout if patching failed.
`printf` is needed because `echo` is lousy with multiple lines.
