I'll probably come back to this and clean it up a bit. This PR
reimplements ab_glyph's functionality on top of Skrifa, a somewhat
lower-level font API that's being used in Chrome now.

Skrifa doesn't perform rasterization itself, so I'm using
[vello_cpu](https://github.com/linebender/vello) from the Linebender
project for rasterization. It's still in its early days, but I believe
it's already quite fast. It also supports color and gradient fills, so
color emoji support will be easier.

Skrifa also supports font hinting, which should make text look a bit
nicer / less blurry.

Here's the current ab_glyph rendering:

/>

Here's Skrifa *without* hinting--it looks almost identical, but there
are some subpixel differences, probably due to rasterizer behavior:

/>

Here's Skrifa  *with* hinting:

<img width="1592" height="1068" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d6cc0669-3537-4377-bba9-ed5ef09664db"
/>

Hinting does make the horizontal strokes look a bit bolder, which makes
me wonder once again about increasing the font weight from "light" to
"regular".
