Fini Jastrow 328b8a2d22 Add original-source.otf generator script
[why]
When we add a custom glyph (or want to update Seti) the process is
rather laborious and we are needed to change the font and the
accompanying `i_seti.sh` in sync.

[how]
We use a data file to map icon (svg) filenames to codepoints and
readable names.

That file is parsed and the font and info file is created (overwritten
in the repo); and could then be easily committed. This can be a CI
workflow.

Having a dedicated mapping file (`icons.tsv`) enables us to have stable
codepoints for the same symbol over time. Changes in codepoint
allocation can be checked in git.

Having the font autogenerated help guarantee that the icons are all
likely scaled. We rescale them all to the same size and mid-position.
That is not needed for font-patcher, because it rescales and shifts
again based on to-be-patched font metrics. But it certainly is better
for a view into the original-source font.

Sizes and position are still roughly equivalent to the hand positioned
glyphs.
