uxa: Mega-Glyphs!

Rewrite glyph rendering to avoid the intermediate buffer, accumulating
the glyph rectangles directly in the backend composite routines. And
modify the glyph cache routines to fully utilise the allocated size of
the tiled buffer on older hardware. To do this we alias all glyph sizes
into the same texture using a technique suggested by Keith Packard.
