Handle PCF fonts files with less than 256 characters

[dawidcrivelli]

Fixes loading fonts where a lot of basic characters are missing.

Here is an example clR4x6.pcf.gz, from the X11 misc fixed-sized fonts, found on Ubuntu at /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/clR4x6.pcf.gz

We like to have tests with our PRs, so that we can guard against this change being accidentally reverted in the future.

Is the font one that we can include in our test suite and distribute under Pillow's license?

I believe so, it's available from X.org: https://www.x.org/releases/individual/font/font-schumacher-misc-1.0.0.tar.gz , but I'm not an expert on open-source licenses.

My Google search suggests this is a variant of the MIT license, so should be compatible with Pillow: https://spdx.org/licenses/MIT-CMU.html

With whitespace adjustments, the font's licence on the left, MIT-CMU on the right:

I've pushed a commit that adds a test, using a hexedited version of https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/blob/main/Tests/fonts/10x20-ISO8859-1.pcf.

I've also changed this to no longer catch the exception, but instead to not look beyond the number of characters in the first place.
