The dimensions in the DWRITE_GLYPH_METRICS are a bit special: the rightSideBearing is measured from the right edge of the character boundary, not the left edge.

So, doing (right - left) would usually return a negative or very small number, which, when casted to a u32 in an unsafe block, would silently overflow to a very large number and make webrender crash.

Therefore, in order to calculate the metrics correctly, we have to first calculate the full width of the character, then subtract the right and left edges, same width the height.

Final compile fixes for pathfinder

Closes #2645.

Note: On Windows, pathfinder won't yet run properly, partly due to https://github.com/pcwalton/pathfinder/pull/82 and partly due to some `RenderTask`-related bugs (currently it crashes with "unexpected render task: glyph task") in ` webrender::render_task::RenderTask::uv_rect_kind`.

However, pathfinder now at least compiles on Windows, Linux and Mac. Also added various `#[derive(Debug)]` necessary for debugging the pathfinder crashes.
