font-patcher: Improve monospace check

Browse source 
[why]
If a `Nerd Font Mono` font is to be created we need to make sure the
original font is indeed monospaced. If it is not and we enforce the same
adavnce width on all glyphs they will look very ugly. Fonts need to be
designed to be monospaced.

We spot check only some characteristic glyphs for that.

Hermit Bold has a problem. Although it looks more or less monospaced it
has some glyphs wider than all the others, for example the small letter
`m`.
Creating a `Nerd Font Mono` (a font where all glyphs have the same
width) will either: Add too much space to the right of all the other
(smaller) glyphs, or will have the wider glyphs cut off on the right.

[how]
Add small letter 'm' to the spot check list. Now the patcher will by
default refuse to --mono patch that font.

Also add output of first char that fails the monospace check. This makes
debugging easier.
