Subject: [PATCH] Don't attempt to cache glyph metrics for FONT_INVALID_CODE

This was causing massive slowdown in redisplay when eg #xfe0f
(VARIATION SELECTOR-16) was present, as the cache ended up very large,
unused, and being recreated on every call to font_fill_lglyph_metrics
(Bug#39133).

* src/composite.c (fill_gstring_body): Hoist FONT_OBJECT_P check out
of loop.  Calculate glyph code and check for FONT_INVALID_CODE before
calling font_fill_lglyph_metrics.  Pass glyph code to it.

* src/font.c (font_fill_lglyph_metrics): Add code parameter, move
glyph code calculation up the call stack into fill_gstring_body.

* src/font.h: Adjust font_fill_lglyph_metrics prototype.
