font-patcher: Allow glyphs with altuni for exactEncoding

[why]
Some symbol fonts might come with glyphs that have multiple codepoints.

When we want to patch them with `'Exact': true` (i.e. at their 'original'
codepoints) we want to patch them into the codepoint that has been used
in the selection process. That means between SymStart and SymEnd.

But this is not the case. We patch them in into their 'main' codepoint,
which can be outside the expected range of points.

This came up when patching with FontAwesome V6. It has for example these
glyphs:

Glyph 'music' has a main codepoint 0x1F3B5, but it is present in the
font also on codepoint 0xF001.

Glyph 'heard' has a main codepoint 0x1F9E1, but it is present in the
font also on codepoints 0x2665, 0x2764, 0xF004, 0xF08A, 0x1F499, ...

When doing a `'Exact': true` patch (i.e. exactEncoding = true) the
glyphs is patched into the target font at its (the glyph's) main
codepoint, regardless of our patch-codepoint-range.

[how]
We examine all codepoints that a glyph occupies in the symbol font. From
all these codepoints we take the nearest to the last glyph be patched
in. Nearest means from the possible codepoints the lowest that come
after the previous used codepoint.

For example the 'heard':

Last patched in codepoint was 0xF003.
Main codepoint: 0x1F9E1
Alternate codepoints: 0x2665, 0x2764, 0xF004, 0xF08A, 0x1F499, ...
-=> 0xF004

Later in the patching process we might encounter the same glyph again,
but this time the previous codepoint was 0xF089, so we need to take
0xF08A.
