FontDecompressor: heap-allocate hot group buffer sized to active font

Browse Source 
Replace the 50 KB static BSS _hotGroupBuf array with a heap pointer
allocated once per font (ensureHotGroupBuf). The buffer is sized to the
largest group in the active font — 6 KB for small fonts, ~50 KB for 18pt
— so no memory is wasted when rendering body text at typical sizes.

The buffer persists across pages (freed only in freeHotGroup/deinit),
so there is exactly one malloc per font session rather than one per page.
