Fini Jastrow feafa89bb3 font-patcher: Prevent --mono on proportional fonts
[why]
When the source font is proportional we can not really create a
monospaced (patched) font from it. The glyph width is for example very
small for 'i' but wide for 'W'.
The glyphs are all left aligned, leaving very strange separation between
smallish glyphs.
Even if we would center the glyphs, the look would be strange and
completely differenmt from the source font's look.

[how]
For proportional fonts do not allow to patch with `--mono`.

The fact if a source font is monospaced is determined by examining some
(very few) glyphs. But testing all our source fonts in the repo shows
that it is sufficient.
Furthermore the Panose flag is checked and differences between the flag
and what the glyph examination found are reported.

The user can enforce `Nerd Font Mono` generation with double specifying
the command line option `--mono --mono`. Still a warning will be issued.

[note]
Because `gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher!.sh` does not really count the
variations but calculates them in a separate loop it does not know
anymore how many variations are created per family. The numbers are
wrong.
But probably we should count the result font files in the end anyhow.

Because the information is not needed (in an automated manner) this is
not corrected here.

It seems wrong anyhow:
  total_variation_count=$((total_variation_count+combination_count))
  total_count=$((total_count+complete_variations_per_family+combination_count))
