We should have been using Droid Sans, not Helvetica, and some of the
non-Roman locales need special handling to render clearly and correctly. We
also get better results if we avoid scaling after rendering the text.
Added scripts/newbitmaps/Makefile to regenerate it all, updated the READMEs.
Since Hung-Te figured out how to use pango-view to render the UTF-8
reliably, we don't need to keep all the pre-rendered locale images anymore
either.
This provides the x86 bmpblock for Stumpy PVT. We may need some more
tweaking for Lumpy and/or ARM.

Put the new screens into the bios:
gbb_utility -s --flags=0 -b bmpblock_x86.bin OLDBIOS NEWBIOS
flashrom -w NEWBIOS
Then reboot and look at the BIOS screens. The lettering is much clearer.

* Updated the text strings using the latest results from the localization
experts.
* Strip the leading byte-order-mark and trailing whitespace from the text
files, since it's not used for anything and sometimes renders as a box.
* Added options to the text_to_bmp script to handle right-to-left languages
and to override the font.
* Added scripts/newbitmaps/strings/localized_text/Makefile to regenerate all
the bitmaps from the text strings. This handles right-to-left languages
correctly.
* Modified make_default_yaml so that the th/model.txt string is moved up a
bit to align it properly with the HWID.
* Regenerated DEFAULT.yaml using the new bitmaps.

Since both UEFI BIOS and U-Boot display BMP images (although with different
compression schemes), we might as well just use that format for the master
images.
We may still need to crop, scale, or compress these master images to the
platform-specific formats, of course. This change also adds an example
Makefile to produce the scaled images for x86 platforms.

This change moves the old bitmaps (Mario, Alex, ZGB) and their supporting
scripts into a subdirectory, and creates a new set of images at 1366x768, in
PNG format.
This is preparation for providing a complete set of localized BIOS screens
to use as the master for all new platforms.
The plan is that these master images will be scaled, cropped, and converted
into the correct formats for each target platform, and those binary
bmpblocks saved in their own package. Only if a translation changes should
we need to regenerate the bmpblocks.
These new images do NOT (yet) include locales that cannot be rendered
correctly by ImageMagick, and not all of them have been fully vetted by the
localization team.

There are lots of new and changed files here, but they're mostly localized
text strings and prerendered bitmaps of them.
There are a few that still need rendering by hand. These locales don't work
with ImageMagick:
