from ZXing (props Alex Geller) - about 25-60% slower depending on
data & stack heavy but does improve some outcomes when FNC1s
present (GS1_MODE or manual) although not much else it appears
(the previous algorithm was very good), but has a logical clarity
the other lacked - funcs `c128_dxsmooth()` etc shared with
CODE16K now moved there and renamed as `c16k_`;
also fix extended char latching when exactly 4 extended chars
at end
also manual code set switching now honoured exactly even if
immediate shift required;
manual: make explicit that AI "(00)" and "(01)" prefixes added by
Zint are HRT-only
general: add `extern "C"` wrappers to a few header files

save a few bytes; some reformatting, comments
CODEONE: add `c1_` prefixes
common: more precise compiler/version checks
composite: add `cc_` prefixes; UINT -> unsigned short; use
`sizeof()` instead of `strlen()` for `in_linear_comp` static;
some reformatting, comments
EMF: use table instead of string for `ultra_chars[]`
GIF: remove unnecessary cast
library: use `sizeof()` instead of `strlen()` for static;
add `consts` to `escape_char_process()` & use unsigned for `ch`

(`ZINT_CAP_EXTENDABLE` marked as legacy)
CODE128: increase no. symbol chars max 60 -> 99
EAN-2/EAN-5: fix `BARCODE_BIND_TOP/BIND/BOX` output
GS1_128: warn if data > 48 (GS1 General Specifications max)
common: `is_extendable()` -> `is_ucpean()`
raster: add `ZFONT_HALIGN_CENTRE/LEFT/RIGHT` flags and process
in `draw_string()` (for drawing EAN/UPC outside digits), and

"fonts/upcean_woff2.h" to avoid large strings
GUI: embed Arimo (via "fonts/normal_ttf.h"), same as OCRB
Change textgap max 5X -> 10X

enable embedding of font in vector output - currently only for
SVG output of EAN/UPC
GUI: use "OCR-B" font for EAN/UPC and "Arimo" for all others (was
"Helvetica" for both); paint background of screen preview light
grey so as contrasts with whitespace and quiet zones

large: rename `large_int` -> `large_uint`
CODE128/common: move `c128_hrt_cpy_iso8859_1()` to
