Recent fix to font initialization (macvim-dev#927) seems to have caused issues with other fonts. Keep the fix but revert to the old way of font initialization by manually creating a new one with point size to not use the other aspects of the font to keep the behavior consistent with previous behavior Fix macvim-dev#928

Recent change to stateful renderer (macvim-dev#858) has inadvertantly changed how MacVim handles line spacing. Previously, MacVim intentionally ignores the line spacing of a font and creates a new dummy font that essentially has line spacing of 1, but the new code uses the font as is. This means font with non-standard line spacing (e.g. Input Mono) will look different. This is technically the correct way to handle fonts but is different from how MacVim has worked for years. Also, see last time this regression (where MacVim didn't discard line spacing) happened in macvim-dev#928 / macvim-dev#949 which was fixed in macvim-dev#957. Also see macvim-dev#977 where the bug was filed the other way requesting for using the font's line spacing instead of discarding it. This commit re-introduces the behavior to discard line spacing, but only provides it as an option (can be set in the preference pane), while defaulting to using the line spacing as that seems more correct. Note that from a casual survey of other terminals and editors, this behavior is quite inconsistent. Xcode does use the font's line spacing, and was partially the motivation of switching to that as a default. Close macvim-dev#1152.
