Rewrite AtlasEngine to allow arbitrary overhangs (#14959)
This is practically a from scratch rewrite of AtlasEngine.

The initial approach used a very classic monospace text renderer, where
the viewport is subdivided into cells and each cell is assigned one
glyph texture, just like how real terminals used to work.
While we knew that it would have problems with overly large glyphs,
like those found in less often used languages, we didn't expect the
absolutely massive number of fonts that this approach would break.
For one, the assumption that monospace fonts are actually mostly
monospace has turned out to be a complete lie and we can't force users
to use better designed fonts. But more importantly, we can't just
design an entire Unicode fallback font collection from scratch where
every major glyph is monospace either. This is especially problematic
for vertical overhangs which are extremely difficult to handle in a
way that outperforms the much simpler alternative approach:
Just implementing a bog-standard, modern, quad-based text renderer.

Such an approach is both, less code and runs faster due to a less
complex CPU-side. The text shaping engine (in our case DirectWrite)
has to resolve text into glyph indices anyways, so using them directly
for text rendering allows reduces the effort of turning it back into
text ranges and hashing those. It's memory overhead is also reduced,
because we can now break up long ligatures into their individual glyphs.
Especially on AMD APUs I found this approach to run much faster.
