Taha-Mahmoodi b6b1ec7300 PDF import: keep a line's glyphs on course when the file's widths are a little off the font's advances
Cause: since #3742 place_each measures a line's spacing from the file's
own widths, so tracking is only the file's Tc/Tw/TJ. Where the widths
are systematically off the installed font's advances (up to the 1% that
still counts as the same font), those differences add up along a line
and nothing made up for them. With no kerning and every tracking value
0, place_each returned the untracked layout early, without the 0.02 em
placement check (CodeRabbit's review of #3742): a line of embedded
Source Sans 3 with /Widths 0.8% wide opened 3.7 pt off. With the early
return removed the check rejects the line and the line-wide fit takes
over: one whole-thousandth tracking value with the font's kerning,
0.30 pt off (as before #3715). Before #3742 main placed it exactly but
with a run per character (49 and 62 runs).

Change: the early return is gone; every line goes through the check.
Before it, on_course() keeps the file's spacing where the glyphs stay
within 0.01 em of the file's; otherwise each stretch of the line takes
one share after every character (the longest stretch one share keeps
within 0.01 em), so ordinary text stays one run, and a line whose
differences change course (30 m then 30 i) takes a run per stretch (2).

Verification: new test
a_long_line_of_widths_a_little_off_the_fonts_advances_lands_in_one_run
(embedded Source Sans 3, widths x1.008 and x0.992, a kerned and an
unkerned line): one run each, glyphs under 0.24 pt (0.02 em) from where
the file draws them. Without on_course it fails after #3742, with and
without the early return ("glyphs 0.300 pt"); before #3742 it fails on
the run count. It replaces an Inter test drafted for the review: Inter
isn't embedded there, so the file's outlines are the interpreter's
stand-in stretched to the widths, not Inter, and the contours differ by
0.6 pt even with exact widths. tests_text_placement and
text_becomes_point_type pass; cargo xtask ci: all 10 steps passed.

Thanks to the CodeRabbit review on #3742 for the early-return finding.
