Text-metric helpers for axis-label fit (B3-1): ggplot-rs owns the outer-label-overflow and check.overlap logic centrally, instead of a downstream consumer post-processing rendered SVG (the old approach had to re-parse <text> elements out of the markup).

Ported verbatim from the consumer’s ticks.rs em table and TickLabel::bbox, which is the only reason the measurements match what callers previously saw.

Functions§

text_width
Estimated width (px) of text set at font size size, in the house sans (Hanken Grotesk, or the system UI font it falls back to). This is a heuristic per-character average-width table, not real font metrics — good enough for layout decisions (fit, overlap, auto-wrap), not for pixel-perfect text extents.
