OffscreenCanvas for TextMetrics is not cached

return c;

I am currently working on making PixiJS work in a NodeJS environment and came across this issue. Because the canvas is not cached in this location leads to the issue that the context (which is fetched with TextMetrics._context in measureFont) is not the context of the canvas that is used and therefore does not resize when setting the dimensions of the canvas in measureFont.

It may only be an issue in my special case (and I will work around it), but it seems wrong nonetheless :)

Oh, you're right on that @coeing, good catch.

Also, we have also been working to make PixiJS run in Node.js as first-class in the project. We should chat and combine forces. It is one of our most requested features.

@bigtimebuddy Very nice, looking forward to it! And yes, let me know when you have time, I am open to share my experiences, although I am not that experienced with PixiJS yet.
