Initial Draft: Type 3 Fonts and Color Fonts Support

Fixes #224

This PR introduces the initial implementation for Type 3 fonts and Color Fonts in PDFs. 🚀

Features:

Type 3 Fonts:
- Type 3 fonts can now be added to a PDF, enabling custom, embedded font glyphs.
Raster-Based Color Fonts:
- Basic functionality for raster formats (CBDT+CBLC, SBIX) is working.
SVG-Based Color Fonts:
- Work in progress for SVG formats (SVG, COLRv0, COLRv1).
- The next step is to refactor fpdf.draw_path() to produce the desired output without writing directly to the buffer.

Next Steps:

Add support for SVG color fonts.
Perform cleanup and optimization for better performance and maintainability.
