Draw characters in exact positions

QT can't be made to draw monospaced text (if the font does not cooperate),
so avoid combining characters, using a QPainter::drawText() call for each
character.

For bidi text support this change requires konsole to reorder and reshape
the characters. This is done using the ICU library (which QT also uses).

This change allows for some improvements related to text rendering:

- More precise bidi reordering, which is no longer changed by characters'
  attributes and selection.
- underlines drawn separately from the text, allowing for differing
  underline modes (double, curly, dashed, dotted, colored).
- Overriding font for emoji characters.

This commit fixes a few bugs and addresses a lot more:

Feature requests: More standard conforming RTL and various underlines:
