Improved Text Rendering (#10537)
# Objective

The quality of Bevy's text rendering can vary wildly depending on the
font, font size, pixel alignment and scale factor.

But this situation can be improved dramatically with some small
adjustments.

## Solution

* Text node positions are rounded to the nearest physical pixel before
rendering.
* Each glyph texture has a 1-pixel wide transparent border added along
its edges.

This means font atlases will use more memory because of the extra pixel
of padding for each glyph but it's more than worth it I think (although
glyph size is increased by 2 pixels on both axes, the net increase is 1
pixel as the font texture atlas's padding has been removed).

## Results

Screenshots are from the 'ui' example with a scale factor of 1.5. 

Things can get much uglier with the right font and worst scale
factor<sup>tm</sup>.

## Changelog
* Font texture atlases are no longer padded.
* Each glyph texture has a 1-pixel wide padding added along its edges.
* Text node positions are rounded to the nearest physical pixel before
rendering.
