* Text: Move some more stuff from Text to TextMetrics:

- getFont() becomes TextMetrics::getDisplayFont()
- setCharFont() now needs a display font.
- setInsetFont() and setFont() now needs a BufferView, will be transferred to TextMetrics too.
- isRTL(): moved to TextMetrics
- isRTLBoundary(): ditto
- font_: ditto
