Direct3D9.Font.MeasureText needs input rectangle.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently MeasureText passes ID3DXFont::DrawText an uninitialized RECT,
however DT_CALCRECT uses this rectangle as the basis for its formatting. 
MeasureText should accept this Rectangle as a parameter.

Plus Direct3D10.Font has no MeasureText.

Cheers.

I've only just glanced over the issue, but it occurs to me that it might be 
entirely
bogus for us to be supporting the DT_CALCRECT equivalent flag as an input to the
DrawText/Draw methods -- it duplicates what we have MeasureText for, and 
doesn't even
work properly when supplied with DrawText since the modified rectangle cannot be
returned. 

I suppose another option is that we could make the draw methods always return 
the
rectangle bounding (or that would bound, in the case of DT_CALCRECT) the text, 
rather
than just the height. This would eliminate the need for MeasureText entirely.

Thoughts? I may be talking crazy here, I haven't had enough coffee yet.

Ok, so I decided that there's no reason to expose the DT_CALCRECT flag to user 
code, 
since there's nothing useful they can do with it. I deleted that, and added a 
MeasureString overload which takes a rectangle by reference. I believe similar 
changes need to be made on the D3D 10 side, but that should cover it for 9.

Added a Measure override to D3D10.Font.
