catbot d712218f17 perf(input-field): O(n) cursor hit test via Font::NearestCursorByte (#56) ...

InputField_HitTestCursor mapped a click x to a cursor byte offset by
calling Font::GetLineWidth on every prefix value[0..i] for i=1..size.
Each call re-walks from byte 0, so the hit test was O(n^2) glyph-metric
lookups (each an uncached stbtt cmap binary search). It also iterated
raw byte boundaries, so on multibyte UTF-8 input it could return an
offset splitting a codepoint — an invalid position for the byte-based
cursorPos.

Add Font::NearestCursorByte: one left-to-right cumulative-advance pass
(O(n) metrics, scale computed once) over codepoint boundaries, returning
the byte offset of the boundary nearest the target. Cumulative advance is
monotonic, so the scan stops past the closest boundary. The hit test now
delegates to it.

Adds tests/InputFieldHitTest, a pure-CPU regression test (no Vulkan
device/window): a px sweep across ASCII and multibyte strings compared
against an independent brute-force nearest-boundary oracle, plus the
left/right/empty/end-of-text edge cases and a codepoint-boundary invariant.
