WMFontPanel is not actually used anywhere, but rewriting it in Rust is a helpful way to show progress that we are making towards porting higher-level WINGs constructs. It is also one of the few places where WMHashMap is used, so porting it helps towards the goal of reducing the size of WUtils.

This passes a basic rendering test. I have played around with it a little bit in Xephyr, and it looks like it is basically doing the right thing. Future work on playing back interactions in a snapshot test should help to shake out bugs whenever we get around to fixing them.

Fix off-by-one error in WMArray iteration macro behavior efec1e8d1e

Update snapshot test of font panel rendering. b5e94932c9

This accounts for a bugfix in array iteration, which had been causing font entries to be duplicated.

Name the anonymous enum for WMButton behaviors. 838beabaef

This is needed so that bindgen cann refer to the enum properly when generating a corresponding Rust type.

Clean up bindgen invocation for WINGs somewhat. 5cb8b0bbeb

This is still a mess, but it's not all in one big line now.

Going forward, commits that need new bindgen functions and types should put them on their own lines. That will make it easier to figure out which commit introduced the use of a given symbol.

Reimplment the WMCreateCommandButton macro in Rust. 333239f678

This is a macro in C, and it would be helpful to be able to do the same thing in Rust. It is simply ported over as a Rust function.

Reimplement the WMAddListItem macro in Rust. 4212b4409a

This was originally a macro in C. We reimplement it as a Rust function.

Start porting the base WINGs widget type to Rust. 2b22bdf5bf

Porting WINGs widgets to Rust will require using some WINGs abstractions. One of them is the base widget type, which is implemented by giving all widgets a common layout (with the first few fields always being the same basic types).

We don't need access to all of the information in these fields yet, so we only expose the widget's WMView.
