4baae6bf2a Draw text as ASCII art in the Omarchy logo font (#8037 )

* Add omarchy-ascii for drawing text in the logo font

Renders text as ASCII art in Delta Corps Priest 1, the FIGlet font the Omarchy wordmark itself is drawn in, so branding art can be words rather than a picture. The font is embedded in the script and the layout is done in awk, so the command adds nothing to the default package set.

The layout runs on one-byte stand-ins for the five block characters the font draws with. Column arithmetic over the characters themselves counts bytes in one locale and characters in another, and the stand-ins keep length() and substr() counting columns either way.

Delta Corps Priest 1 carries letters and spaces only, and every mirror of it ships the same file with the digit and punctuation glyphs empty. Anything else is dropped and named on stderr, and text with nothing drawable at all exits 1 rather than printing silence.

* Correct what the renderer did with input it could not draw

The route never ran on piped text. The metadata declared `<text...>` as required, so `omarchy ascii` with nothing on the command line resolved to the router's help while `omarchy-ascii` run directly worked, which is why the tests missed it: they all called the binary. The argument is optional now, and a test goes through the route.

Text reached awk as a command-line variable, where awk reads backslash escapes of its own, so `omarchy ascii 'A\nB'` drew two blocks instead of naming the backslash as a character the font lacks. A text longer than the argument list could not be passed at all. It arrives as awk's input now, with the font on a descriptor of its own.

A line with nothing drawable printed nothing at all, so a blank line between two words closed the gap up rather than keeping it. Every line draws its block now, blank ones included, which is what figlet does with a newline.

Placing a glyph scanned and copied the whole width of the art so far, costing the square of the line's length: four thousand characters took forty-six seconds. A row is now held without its trailing blanks, counted separately instead, so a glyph costs its own width and those four thousand characters take a tenth of a second.

A skipped control character was named on stderr by writing it out, which sends it to the terminal as a control character; those are named by code now. An unknown option was drawn as art rather than refused, so a mistyped `--width 40` quietly rendered the word "width".

figlet.c trims the column of blanks that every row of an `M` shares when it is the first glyph on a line, and figlet.js keeps it. asciiart.eu runs figlet.js, so the rendering follows figlet.js and a test pins that `M`, because the wordmark alone does not catch the difference and the next reader would have no way to tell the choice from an oversight.
