#1034: scaled type shows and takes its scaled sizes

After scaling 12 pt type 2x, the Character panel still showed 12 pt and
typing 10 pt gave 20 pt type. Character controls and text commands now
work in document points: the size, leading and baseline shift shown and
set are the stored ones times the text's scale along its em height, and
horizontal scale includes the ratio of the transformed em axes. Rotation,
reflection and shear stay in the transform, so text remains editable.
Groups' text counts, keyboard increments use the same units, Shrink
Text to Fit works in document tenths, and a collapsed transform rejects
dimensional edits without touching the document.

text.getRange takes effective: true for the document-space values.
