font-patcher: Do not overwrite glyphs that are needed for basic glyphs

Browse source 
[why]
Sometimes the basic glyphs ([a-zA-Z] etc) are constructed in the font
from other glyphs via references. To keep those basic glyphs intact we
must not touch the referenced glyphs.

[how]
Crate a list of all glyphs referenced by the basic glyphs.
When patching in some new symbol - if that codepoint is in the list do
not overwrite it. Overwriting would break a basic glyph.

The user does not get the glyph that we would have patched in, but that
can not be helped if we want to keep the basic glyphs intact and not
'redesign' the complete font.

Fixes: #400
