Use PEAR Text_Figlet to render figlet fonts

Description

Use PEAR Text_Figlet to render figlet fonts

Summary:
Ref T7785. Makes Figlet available without installing the figlet package.

The PEAR Text_Figlet code is really sketchy and includes this API, which is quite marvelous:

function loadFont($filename, $loadgerman = true)

At some point, this should probably be rewritten into a modern style, but it's not trivial since the figlet file format and rendering engine are somewhat complicated. I made some adjustments:

  • Broke the dependency on the PEAR core.
  • Prevented it from doing any wrong HTML escaping.
  • Looked through it for any glaring security or correctness problems.

This code isn't very pretty or modern, but as far as I can tell it's safe and does render Figlet fonts in a reasonable way.

Test Plan:
