A more conceise version of the Powerline test, designed to show
the dreaded 'faint vertical lines' phenomenon from LCD antialiasing

[why]
For new fonts we do not create one subdirectory for each font file anymore.
The (historic) reason were the many variants that each font file had been
patched with. Nowadays we just have 3 variants for each font file.
And anyhow this font is release archive released only.
[how]
Simplify update script and move font files.

[why]
The fontconfig is autogenerated by the release process with the
bin/scripts/generate-fontconfig.sh script. The reason is that its
contents should match the released fonts (i.e. the latest release).
Also:
Upstream changed the name grouping a bit, so the superfluous "Bold"
family has been dropped (and does not need an entry anymore).
[how]
Revert the (manual) change and wait for the release process to
update the fontconfig.

[why]
We still fight with the faint lines on the big side of the powerline
glyphs. They come from the LCD antialiasing mode that has problems with
the borders.
Other fonts use far more overlap. We use only a modest amount of overlap
(1% of the width).
[how]
As the other fonts do, increase the overlap (to 6% now).
Add full-hight 'landing platforms' on the outsides of the glyphs,
which are 7% wide.

[why]
The glyph is extremely complex with very thin open spaces and bridges.
Obviously a conversion from some colored icon that has not been looked
at too hard.
[how]
Remove all the small crevices, smoothen the surface carefully and make
too thin strokes a bit wider.
We still keep the Devicons goal "very crisp icons" so that no rounding
of the paths and reduction of points is used.

[why]
Forgotten after update.
[note]
Also remove old old configure file that has been used for fast test
runs. It has the wrong format now anyhow.

[why]
The carons are all upside down.
The dcaron and tcaron should use an 'apothrophe'.
[how]
The simplify the fixing of all carons we take the excellent fork ofu
Rodrigo Batista de Moraes that (re?)creates the letters with caron from
references.
Just manually flip the caron and all combined glyphs will be fixed.
Create a combining-comma-above-right from the ordinary comma.
Reference that for dcaron and tcaron.
Rerun `make-bold` which creates the two otf files.

[why]
The code is rather convoluted and one can not follow what is done.
[how]
Add function that abstracts some steps away.

[why]
This sets out to circumvent a problem with VisualStudio 2022. That
application seems to have problems with fonts when the ID16 is not a
prefix in ID1.
We have this when --makegroups >= 4, because
ID1 has the short name suffix 'NF'
ID16 has the long suffix 'Nerd Font'
These fonts can be selected in VisualStudio 2022, and the preview works
ok, but once active some replacement default font is used instead.
The problem vanishes if ID16 and ID1 have the same stem, or rather ID1
has someting added on top of ID16; but ID16 is a substring of ID1.
See more discussions in #1442
[how]
Write both forms in ID16 fields, 'NF' and 'Nerd Font' suffixes. This
works as long as the application considers all languages equal.

Albeight documented in the comment not all non English-US entries are
removed but just al TO_DEL ones.
[how]
Put the conditional in the right position.

[why]
We need the glyphnames to be unique, or some glyphs will not be
accessible later (in the cheat sheet, css, glyphnames).
[note]
Also already remove one non-effective duplicate that is first an alias
and later a real glyph in i_seti.sh

[why]
Two glyphs may not have the same name (normally).
Our glyphnames.json will break.
[how]
Do not add two entries with the same name but rather report the
codepoints in the bottom.

Now we also have different original icons, lets have a new number.

Native MacOS has only an ancient Bash 3.x
But we use arrays... and rewriting only to support 15 year old shells?
[how]
Check the Major Bash version number and bail out if too old.
