Add tests to isolate font choices and metrics

Any layout test that produces a render tree and image implicitly depends on the font choices made and the metrics of those fonts, but it's difficult for a new port to isolate those differences. It would be helpful to have some tests that are intended only to document and verify the fonts used by layout tests and the sizes of their various characters.

New tests + results

This includes Leopard results in platform/mac/.  Should I move those to platform/mac-leopard/ and generate separate mac-tiger results?

Bah, I'll remove the svn:executable properties before committing.

Generally the most futuristic version goes in platform/mac and then older versions overlay on top of that. So we could generate separate mac-tiger results for tests that need them, but the Leopard and newer results would go in platform/mac rather than platform/mac-leopard.

Good to know.  Meanwhile, I've now verified that the results here also pass on Tiger.
