b9f0f84ff8 fix(a11y): bookmarks from structure keep the words of glyph-by-glyph headings (#1899)
* fix(a11y): bookmarks from structure keep the words of glyph-by-glyph headings

Chromium (Skia) draws text one glyph at a time, each moved into place with
its own Td. The marked text of a heading added a space at every Td, TD, T*
and Tm, so New Bookmarks from Structure titled them "C h a p t e r T w o",
and the real spaces between words were lost. On a 20-page tagged guide
printed by Chromium, 25 of 61 titles came out spaced.

mcid_texts now follows the text matrix (and the CTM, q/Q, Tc, Tw, Tz, TL)
and decides word breaks from where the glyphs are: a glyph that starts on
another line, more than 0.2 em after the previous glyph of the same marked
content, or back over more than an em, starts a new word. Kerning and
glyph-by-glyph placement no longer split words.

* fix(a11y): headings set with a negative font size keep their words

The em that decides word breaks was the font size times |Tz|, negative with
a negative font size: every glyph then started a new word, and a heading in
one Tj read "C h a p t e r O n e". The em is now |size x Tz|, and "ahead"
follows the way glyphs advance in text space, backwards when the size or Tz
is negative, so a TJ word space still splits words there as on main.

* fix(a11y): keep wrapped headings separate under horizontal scaling
