ply-utils: Increase threshold for guessed hiDPI scaling to >= 2880x1620
1440 is only 33% more then FHD, so using 2x there is a bit too much and
leads to the spinner being much too large on e.g 27" monitors.
And on e.g. Dell ultrawide 34" 3440x1440 which are only 110 DPI this effect
is even worse.
Change the threshold to >= 2880x1620 to avoid using 2x scaling on 1440p
monitors. 2880x1620 is ~240DPI when used in a 14" laptop at which point
using 2x scaling is really necessary.

The comment about why SimpleDRM devices should be skipped is no longer
accurate, the kernel does provide rotation info now; and plymouth now
has heuristics to guess the device-scale.
If SimpleDRM devices should be used or not now mostly is a user
preference.

libply-splash-core: Add a force argument to ply_renderer_open ()
Sometimes a renderer plugin may want to refuse to open a device
because it has suboptimal settings, like e.g. an EFI framebuffer
based simpledrm when the EFI firmware has set the resolution to
800x600 instead of the native panel resolution.
In such a case it might be better to wait for another better
/dev/dri/card# device to show up.
This skipping of devices by renderer plugins needs to be configurable
in case the timeout hits, or the user wishes to override things.
Add a force argument to ply_renderer_open () to allow overriding
this behavior. User can force using simpledrm by passing
plymouth.use-simpledrm=2 on the kernel commandline or by setting
UseSimpledrm=2 in the config-file.
This flag is passed to the renderer plugin's query_device () method
as that is the best place for the renderer plugin to determine
a device's usability.

Make simpledrm selection configurable from config file
Move the handling of the "plymouth.use-simpledrm" commandline argument from
ply-device-manager to main.c, and allow specifying its default value in
the "[Daemon]" section of the config-file using a new UseSimpledrm keyword.
Extend the "plymouth.use-simpledrm" handling to also accept a value e.g.
"plymouth.use-simpledrm=0" to allow overriding a "UseSimpledrm=1" in
the configfile.
And pass the use-simpledrm value to ply_device_manager_new () through a new
PLY_DEVICE_MANAGER_FLAGS_USE_SIMPLEDRM flag.
This also moves the kernel commandline handling to src/main.c grouping
it together with most of the other commandline handling.

To avoid the later parsed config files *with lower priorities* overriding
earlier settings the code initializes the config variables to NAN and only
sets them if they are still set to NAN.
Except for the device_scale handling, where load_settings () always calls
ply_set_device_scale () overriding earlier values, the commandline
handling for "plymouth.force-scale=..." is done separately later so that
the commandline does take priority over the config files, but since
/usr/share/plymouth/plymouthd.defaults is parsed last any DeviceScale
setting there will override /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf settings.
Fix this by following the pattern used by start_time/splash_delay/
device_timeout, add a device_scale variable initialized to -1 and
only override that variable if it is at -1.
This also allows removing find_force_scale () moving the commandline
parsing to find_override_splash () together with the other commandline
handling.

ply-keymap-icon: Make Dvorak check case-insensitive
When using evdev support the XKB keymap name (with variant) for Dvorak
users will be e.g. "US (Dvorak)". The Dvorak layouts are not described
in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml, so these are not added to
ply-keymap-metadata.h / keymap-render.png .
For the console-keymap case dvorak is handled specially in:
mapping all keymap-names with a lowercase dvorak in there to "dvorak",
change this special handling to be case-insensitive so that it also works
for the xkb-keymap case.
Note the keymap-render.py change really is a no-op since keymap-render.py
only calls normalize_keymaps() on console-keymaps which are always
lower-case. normalize_keymaps() should still be updated though to keep
the 2 functions in sync.
Bold monospace fonts are prominently used in the console output printed
by systemd. Without them, the output looks incorrect compared to pango.
This still is far from a complete implementation of rich text, but
brings label-freetype much closer to what label-pango does for the
default theme.
This commit introduces a glyph_face variable in load_glyphs() that holds
the correct face for the current glyph (label->face or
label->bold_face). This face is then passed on to load_glyph() and
finish_measuring_line() to ensure correct font measurements.

ply-device-manager: Create renderer for simpledrm devices right away
Often when plymouth starts and enumerates udev devices which are already
present at start (coldplug detection), udev is still initializing all
the devices and it reports 0 for udev_device_get_is_initialized ().
It may take a long time for the state of the simpledrm udev device
to change to initialized and for a udev add event to be send.
Especially when the amdgpu kernel module is involved which is very
large for a kernel module and can take op to 7 seconds to load.
In this case it is even possible for plymouth's default DeviceTimeout
of 8 seconds to trigger before the simpledrm device is considered
initialized. See for example these lines extracted from the plymouth-debug
log attached to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2183743

This leads to plymouth falling back to the text splash even when
plymouth.use-simpledrm is passed on the kernel commandline.

even if they are not initialized yet.

label-freetype: fix fallback not working when fc-match isn't available
The new font loading functions introduced in 544e62ac41a490f04d8e6b4e85f8b9fa1171b0cc assume that popen() returns
NULL when fc-match is unavailable or fails. This is incorrect, since
popen() will always start a shell to run the passed command and return a
stream to that shell's stdin and stdout.
This results in an non-null but empty font name being passed to
FT_New_Face(), which fails.
This commit fixes this by also using the fallback font when the font
path read from the popen() stream is empty.
