Replace premade bitmap fonts with FreeType2 and dynamic texture atlas.
Switched from static, premade bitmap fonts to runtime-generated glyphs using FreeType2.
Glyphs are rendered on demand into a dynamic texture atlas, improving scalability,
font quality, and support for internationalization.
Currently using RGBA format for compatibility across all render
paths while initial support for R8_UNORM is being added.
This prepares for future optimizations in VRAM and performance
Includes groundwork for gamma-corrected blending and future swizzling support.
Avoid cases of filenames
Update years in terms and other legal(ish) documents
Don't update years in license headers, since change is not meaningful
Will add linter rule in seperate commit
Happy recompiling everyone!

This was SVN commit r27786.
Replace unifont with CFont and CFontManager, since the h_mgr interface
was
needlessly inconvenient.
Load the font textures through CTextureManager, to support dynamic
reloading (e.g. when resetting GL state - see #741).
Add CFontMetrics as a convenient wrapper for code that just wants to
measure text.
Fixes#1117.
This was SVN commit r14016.
