Fini Jastrow 3b93c99637 casks: Fix cask generation for 'deep' archives [skip ci]
[why]
Normally the release zip files have a flat directory structure, i.e. all
files are in the base directory and there are no subdirs. The existing
subdirectory structure is removed on zip creation via `archive-fonts.sh`.

If the patch results have two fonts with identical name these flat
archives can not be generated. The `archive-fonts.sh` reports:

    Could not create archive with the path junked (-j option) - likely
    same font names for different paths, zip status: $zipStatus
    Retrying with full path

But now the problem is only delayed. When the font file has the name
name the Family and SubFamily are most likely also the same for both
font files. If we install both the user (and the system) can not really
distinguish the font files anymore.

This turned up with [1] when doing a `brew style *nerd-font*` that
complains in fact about duplicate fonts to install. At that point we had
the additional problem that the subdir-path had been missing in the cask
files. So I'm not sure if it would work from a Cask standpoint (i.e.
font files are installed in subdirs).

Anyhow, this will fail when the user wants to select the font files,
because normally this is done on a Family-name basis. And identical file
name usually means identical Family-SubFamily.

Note that this ONLY happens with GohuFont, which has these subdirs:

    11/complete
    14/complete
    uni-11/complete
    uni-14/complete

The font has embedded bitmaps, but only one size. The "11" ones have
11px bitmap fonts and the "14" ones 14px bitmaps.
The "uni-" variant has much more glyphs.
Otherwise the differences are slim. From the font creation date the
"uni-" ones are newer.

[how]
Each font filename added to a cask is memorized. When the next fontfile
is to be added to the cask it is checked if we already have that
filename installed. Duplicates are then skipped.

If we have a deep archive, the fonts are added to the cask with full
relative path.

In case of Gohu that means the 11/complete variant is added (because all
files are alphabetically sorted before adding). By chance this is the
same variant that has historically been in the Cask, so no change here.
