05e4993d2e gems: Avoid flexible array member in Cached_font.
Switch the code to 0 lengh array instead. The code in
Lru_cache::element_size calls sizeof on this structure. This works in
gcc, but fails when using clang. Even for GCC however the documentation
states:

  "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
   may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
   zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."

Basically its an implementation quirk that clang does not support. Both
GCC and clang do support zero sized arrays however so using them here
allows both compilers to process this code.

dc39a8db62 base: introduce Allocator::try_alloc
This patch changes the 'Allocator' interface to the use of 'Attempt'
return values instead of using exceptions for propagating errors.

To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original
exception-based interface - in particluar use cases where an 'Allocator'
is passed to the 'new' operator - the traditional 'alloc' is still
supported. But it existes merely as a wrapper around the new
'try_alloc'.

ece5cbbbb5 gems: utility for implementing LRU-based caches
This patch extracts the LRU cache implementation from the 'Cached_font'
so that it becomes reusable for other applications.

81e55e8901 gems: TrueType VFS plugin
This commit introduces a VFS plugin that exposes the glyphs and
metadata of a TrueType font as a pseudo file system. The TTF font data
is obtained from the VFS. The resulting pseudo file system is a
directory that contains the files 'glyphs', 'baseline', 'max_width',
and 'max_height'.

The counter part of the plugin is the 'Vfs_font' class that implements
the 'Text_painter::Font' interface by accessing the pseudo file system
as provided by the TTF VFS plugin.

Fixes #2740
