font-patcher: Limit vertical overlap

[why]
The vertical overlap has never been a problem (as far as I know). It is
maybe good to have some overlap for the terminal emulators that support
vertical overlap.
On terminals that truncate at the nominal cell border too much overlap
looks bad, i.e. the glyphs 'distorted'.

If we ever increase the overlap it is most likely be meant to be the
left-right overlap.

Note that the glyphs are usually valign='c' and the overlap is
distributed half top and half bottom. There are no other valign values
implemented (just 'not align' which is ... most likely bad).

[note]
Originally this has been part of commit fecda6a of #780.

[note2]
Originally this has been part of PR #967.
Although that had a bug 😬
It used max() instead of min() (T_T)
