feat: sketch text takes a font, an installed family or a font file (#516)

sketch.text and sketch.edit_text take an optional font: an installed family or a .ttf/.otf/.ttc file. Edit Text gets a Font field. The font is kept with the text under format 16; no fonts are bundled, and the font search is bounded.

Fixes #513

error, and the font is kept with the text in the design, so the text stays editable in it. `SOLIDCRAFT_FONT_DIRS`
