Ignore metrics of trimmable whitespace on nonblank lines

A longstanding problem we had was that we ignored leading line breaks
in events. We somewhat accidentally assigned line breaks zero height,
and the code in `measure_text` that halved the height of empty lines
explicitly ignored leading empty lines for some reason. #285 fixed both
of these things: the former in e8d98dafb8d4d1fd80e9d398cfbef7db1e2ccb73,
the latter in 5d03af99c6d8f43be973cb6dacb5d6dd0ada33b1.

But life is not so simple!

It turns out that VSFilter [discards metrics of the line break and
leading/trailing spaces for lines that stay nonempty after whitespace
trimming][1]. So we actually handled nonblank (trimmable-space-less)
lines correctly *before* #285 and have been *mishandling* them
since #285 landed, adding the line break's metrics when they should
be ignored. This is not noticeable in plain text, but it affects cases
when a line's contents have a different height from the line breaks:

    {\fs96}foo\N{\p1}m 0 0 l 0 1 1 1 1 0{\p0}\Nbar
    {\fs96}foo\N{\fs1}bar{\fs96}\Nbaz

(the middle line should be 1px high, not 96px)

More complicated cases with trimmable spaces have never been
handled correctly, but this is nevertheless a regression.

To fix this:

  * move the `trim_whitespace` call before the `measure_text` call
    (they seem independent, so this is easy),

  * mark trimmed whitespace with a new dedicated flag in addition
    to `.skip` so it can be distinguished from invisible glyphs,

  * clear accumulated (line-leading-whitespace) metrics
    when each line's first non-trimmed-whitespace glyph is found,

  * skip trimmed-whitespace glyphs when the line is already proven
    nonblank, because they are certainly line-trailing whitespace.

Note: line breaks themselves do have `.skip` and `.is_trimmed_whitespace`.
Note: our `.linebreak` is set on the glyph *after* the line break.

As a result, a nonblank line will include the metrics only of the glyphs
that (would) remain after trimming leading and trailing whitespace
(including the line break), while a blank line includes the metrics of all
glyphs from its first in-line glyph up to and including the terminating
line break (if any).

At the same time, line height is only halved for lines that are truly empty
and don't even contain any whitespace. (Before the halving, the line height
comes from the line break glyph.)

This matches VSFilter.
