d3ee35db8e name-parser: Unify abbreviations in family names
[why]
Because the newer Preferred/Typographic names ID 16 and ID 17 have not
a very demanding length limit we add the long form of the name
addendum (i.e. Nerd Font, Nerd Font Mono, Nerd Font Propo).

In the more restricted old names ID 1 and ID 2 we use the short forms
(i.e. NF, NFM, NFP).

This seems to be problematic with Visual Studio (Community) 2022 and the
fonts can be selected but are not really used.

The Postscript family name is never shortened which seems to be of no
consequence, but still is different than the other.

[how]
When creating the Preferred/Typographic Family (ID 16) we check the
shortening mode first and abbreviate the parts as needed and alike ID 1.

This will also change the filenames, because they base on the SFNT
table. We can not change that without changing the whole mechanism.

[note]
Also add new tool that lists all names of fonts, including the
Postscript ones.

Fixes: #1242
