cw.fonts classclient

Defines the client-side cw.fonts library, which creates fonts and makes resized copies of them on demand.

surface.CreateFont is replaced to go through cw.fonts:Add, with the engine function kept as the global CreateFont, so that cw.fonts:GetSize and cw.fonts:GetMultiplied can return any font at another size. The file also creates Catwork's own fonts, such as cwMainText and cw.menuTextBig.
