read FONTBOUNDINGBOX and BBX, handle other DWIDTH

I tried to convert fonts in x11-fonts/wqy (an open source Chinese bitmap fo=
nt)
for use with vt. The original fonts are in pcf, I used
https://github.com/ganaware/pcf2bdf to convert them to bdf.

I found that the original assumptions in the code have several problems:
* Assuming DWIDTH =3D width or width * 2
Actually there can be varying widths. For wqy, there are DWIDTH between 2-13
for the 10pt font, and 2-12 for the 9pt font.
* Assuming number of lines in the bitmap =3D=3D height
Actually it usually equals to the height in the BBX line.

This patch fixes the problems by:
* Read the FONTBOUNDINGBOX line.
This gives us the baseline position. If offset_y in this line is -3, we nee=
d to
reserve 3 lines at the bottom.
* Read the BBX line.
The offset_x and offset_y information in this line tells us where to positi=
on
the glyph. For example, if offset_y =3D=3D -2, the font should be positione=
d 2
lines below the baseline.
* Position the glyph at the correct place.
The starting line is calculated by:
    line_y =3D height + font_y - bb_h - bb_y + i;
The font's baseline (bottom) is height + font_y, the glyph's baseline is he=
ight
+ font_y - bb_y.

The font generated by this patch is used successfully with the wqy font on =
the
vt terminal to display chinese characters. There seems to be problems for
alphabet characters which are double-width (the 'W' in wqy font), so the
working configuration requires a width of at least 10 pixels.
