fix: Fix hyphenation and rendering of decomposed characters (#1037)

## Summary

* This PR fixes decomposed diacritic handling end-to-end:
- Hyphenation: normalize common Latin base+combining sequences to
precomposed codepoints before Liang pattern matching, so decomposed
words hyphenate correctly
- Rendering: correct combining-mark placement logic so non-spacing marks
are attached to the preceding base glyph in normal and rotated text
rendering paths, with corresponding text-bounds consistency updates.
- Hyphenation around non breaking space variants have been fixed (and
extended)
- Hyphenation of terms that already included of hyphens were fixed to
include Liang pattern application (eg "US-Satellitensystem" was
*exclusively* broken at the existing hyphen)

/>

* Note 1: the hyphenation fix is not a 100% bullet proof implementation.
It adds composition of *common* base+combining sequences (e.g. O +
U+0308 -> Ö) during codepoint collection. A complete solution would
require implementing proper Unicode normalization (at least NFC,
possibly NFKC in specific cases) before hyphenation and rendering,
instead of hand-mapping a few combining marks. That was beyond the scope
of this fix.

* Note 2: the render fix should be universal and not limited to the
constraints outlined above: it properly x-centers the compund glyph over
the previous one, and it uses at least 1pt of visual distance in y.
