In vdiffr: Visual Regression Testing and Graphical Diffing

# This code creates "src/glyph_dims.h" which inlines the glyph dimensions of
# Liberation and Symbola for all unicode points up until 50000. 
# 
# Changes in the entries of "src/glyph_dims.h" will result in potential failures 
# of visual tests since it will change string dimension calculations. Only 
# update it for very good reasons!
