NRK 7269c5355d significantly improve performance on large strings
this replaces inefficient pattern of `MIN(TEXTW(..), n)` with
drw_fontset_getwidth_clamp() instead, which is far more efficient when
we only want up to a certain width.

dumping a decently sized (unicode) emoji file into dmenu, I see the
startup time drop significantly with this patch.

before -> after
360ms  -> 160ms

this should also noticeably improve input latency (responsiveness) given
that calcoffsets() and drawmenu() are pretty hot functions.

NRK 6be057f060 introduce drw_fontset_getwidth_clamp()
getting the width of a string is an O(n) operation, and in many cases
users only care about getting the width upto a certain number.

instead of calling drw_fontset_getwidth() and *then* clamping the
result, this patch introduces drw_fontset_getwidth_clamp() function,
similar to strnlen(), which will stop once we reach n.

the `invert` parameter was overloaded internally to preserve the API,
however library users should be calling drw_fontset_getwidth_clamp() and
not depend upon internal behavior of drw_text().

NRK 41fdabbf7c drw_text: improve both performance and correctness
this patch makes some non-trivial changes, which significantly improves
the performance of drawing large strings as well as fixes any issues
regarding the printing of the ellipsis when string gets truncated.

* performance:

before there were two O(n) loops, one which finds how long we can go
without changing font, and the second loop would (incorrectly) truncate
the string if it's too big.

this patch merges the overflow calculation into the first loop and exits
out when overflow is detected. when dumping lots of emojies into dmenu,
i see some noticeable startup time improvement:

before -> after
460ms  -> 360ms

input latency when scrolling up/down is also noticeably better and can
be tested with the following:

	for _ in $(seq 20); do
		cat /dev/urandom | base64 | tr -d '\n' | head -c 1000000
	echo
	done | ./dmenu -l 10

* correctness:

the previous version would incorrectly assumed single byte chars and
would overwrite them with '.' , this caused a whole bunch of obvious
problems, including the ellipsis not getting rendered if then font
changed.

in addition to exiting out when we detect overflow, this patch also
keeps track of the last x-position where the ellipsis would fit. if we
detect overflow, we simply make a recursing call to drw_text() at the
ellipsis_x position and overwrite what was there.

so now the ellipsis will always be printed properly, regardless of
weather the font changes or if the string is single byte char or not.

the idea of rendering the ellipsis on top incase of overflow was
from Bakkeby <bakkeby@gmail.com>, thanks! however the original patch had
some issues incorrectly truncating the prompt (-p flag) and cutting off
emojies. those have been fixed in here.

This reverts commit c585e8e498.

It causes issues with truncation of characters when the text does not fit and
so on.  The patch should be reworked and properly tested.

Hiltjo Posthuma cd2133a5f6 add support for more keypad keys
The keypad Enter key was already supported. On some keyboard layouts like my
laptop the page-up and page-down key is more comfortable to use.
This adds a few lines but no complexity.

Miles Alan c585e8e498 Improve speed of drw_text when provided with large strings
Calculates len & ew in drw_font_getexts loop by incrementing instead of
decrementing; as such avoids proportional increase in time spent in loop
based on provided strings size.
