[why]
The greys seem to be too small.
[how]
Separate the blocks into real block, greys and quads. They all have
different scales in Hack which we use to patch in.
If we do not patch in and just scale existing glyphs these three groups
should always be sufficient.
Note that in Hack the quad block 2597 is too small; we could have scaled
it together with the blocks group, but that would raise issues with well
behaved fonts that we just scale and not patch in.

Some few glyphs get a wrong left side bearing in `Nerd Font`:
E0C2: -1230
E0C5: -857
E0C7: -667
E0CA: -1230
These are the powerline glyphs which are right aligned and have overlap
and a target width of 2 cells wide.
[how]
To simplify the code add a new function that decides if a symbol shall
be one or two cells wide.
That function is then used where we had explicit tests already.
Use the function also in the overlap correction code, such that the
overlap is corrected for the right cell occupancy of the concrete glyph.
[note]
I guess that the overlap correction for 'c' alignment for 2 cell wide
glyphs is also broken. But we do not have such glyphs, so we ignore it
for now :-}
This fixes the previous commit 'font-patcher: Fix overlap for align c and r'.

[why]
The box drawing glyphs (center aligned) and some Powerline glyphs (that
are right aligned and have a limited xy-ratio) are positioned wrong.
Affected are all box drawing glyphs (e.g. 2548) and some Powerline
glyphs (i.e. E0B2, E0B6, E0C5, E0C7, and E0D4).
[how]
The box drawing glyphs are center aligned and have overlap. The code
does not correct the overlap (left bearing) but uses the default case of
'make the left bearing zero'. The code does just check left aligned
glyphs and not center aligned ones.
Add the correct overlap for center aligned glyphs (i.e. half the
overlap).
The Powerline glyphs are right aligned. Usually that works, because the
glyphs are created with the right size, so that no additional
manipulation is needed.
But if the glyph has a ratio limit the resulting size will be different.
We could in fact fix the size code, somehow, but that is rather
complicated, formula-wise. Instead we just scale these glyphs (which are
the 5 listed above) and shift them to the right position such that the
correct overlap results.

[why]
This is more an academic fix. If we calculate widths from with bounding
boxes we always need to take xmin and xmax into account. Usually xmin is
zero and so it does not make any difference.
But maybe one can see better what is calculated, especially as we use
xmin in other cases.

The unicode 2630 (Trigraph Heaven) is often used in vim powerlines (at
least).
[how]
Draw nice 3 rectangles.
Insert 'pa1', always scaling also in non mono fonts. That needs a new
attribute: '!'.
The scaling is in fact an issue. Using 'pa' is the way of least
resistance.
Without the new attribute the glyph would look different in mono and
nonmono, which is not nice.

[why]
All the box drawing glyphs should be scaled and shifted as one (i.e.
equally). For such glyph sets we have the ScaleGroups that handle it
nicely, determining a combined bounding box and calculation scale and
shift from that bounding box instead of the actual glyph's bounding box.
But unfortunately it is hard-wired to do just 'pa' scaling. For the box
drawing glyphs we need 'xy' scaling.
[how]
The preparatory stage calculates the 'pa' factor for ScaleGroups for us.
That is mainly so because the old system worked that way and has no
notion of combinded-bounding-box. The data needed to be stored in one
number, the scale. Later came the correct shifting, which needed the
bounding box. But the scaling still relied on the one scale factor that
is used for x and y.
Instead, if we have a combinded bounding box, we ignore the
precalculated scale factor and calculate a new set of x- and y-scales
based on the requested scaling algorithm. In this way we can get 'xy' or
'pa' or even 'xy2' scaling, or whatever we like, based on the combined
bounding box.

[why]
For some reason we determine the bounding box xmax value of the 'normal'
extended glyphs. For the cell size we use the advance width of those
glyphs - the xmax values is not utilized at all.
But if we would ever use it, it might be good to see that something
unexpected(?) happened.
This commit is not really necessary. Maybe it is good, maybe it just
adds noise. We can always remove it later.

If a font has references in glyphs that we want to add to the essential
set of glyphs, and fontforge is old (i.e. 2020*) the patcher crashes.
[how]
The fontforge function glyph.references returns a three element tuple in
current fontforge (i.e. 20230101). But older versions skip the selection
bit and return only tuples of two.
As we use only the first tuple element we do not care about the 2nd and
possible 3rd element(s) and just thrash them.

All glyphs of the codicons set are individually maximised in size.
That leads to the curious condition that 'circle small' looks bigger
than 'cicrle' (because the line width is scaled up more -> looks bold).
Also some other 'subsets' look ugly and can not be used together.

Add appropriate ScaleGroups.
For the circles we also include one full-size circle as reference. To

The Material Design Icons have for sure pairs of glyphs that people
would like to have scaled identically. Because the sheer number of
glyphs and because they are already very nicely and uniformly scaled
within their design space the MDI at the new codepoints where all scaled
the same with taking the theoretical design space as ScaleGlyph.
But that means all icons get scaled a bit smaller than before, where we
individually scaled each Material Design Icon to fill the cell.
This lead to numerous complaints.
[how]
We take a different approach now, more conventional maybe. Especially in
the light that the older bigger icons will get dropped; and people love
them.
So the uniform scaling is ditched and the individual scaling is used.

Because the actual width can not be easily determined add a

When a ScaleGroup's combinded bounding box is wider than the target font
cell the actual X position of a glyph in the group depends on it's own
bonding box and not of the combinded bounding box. When doing center
or right alignment.
[how]
'Overwide' ScaleGroup glyphs are correctly placed and shifted in
position, but that would mean a negative left side bearing (i.e. glyph
extends to the left into previous 'cell').
We do not want that and it is later corrected for all glyphs. But that
is done on an individual glyph level and it is just left aligned for its
concrete bounding box (i.e. left side bearing is set to zero).
The dilemma here is that you can not really center a (combinded) glyph
within a cell, when
* the cell is smaller than the glyph
* a left bearing is not allowd
So we change the algorithm here that 'center' and 'right' alignment
mean:
* Center the glyph in the target font cell
* But if that would create a left side 'overhang' (bearing) just left
align (move it as far left as possible without creating a negative
bearing)
The only glyphs affected by this change are the very wide weather icons,
and here escpecially the moon phases F096 and following (target
codepoints E38E ..).
