Investigate switching SVG text layout to use typographic character units

Project Member Reported by pdr@chromium.org, Mar 10 2016

Issue description

SVG's text layout is "character based" which is ambiguous. This gets complex with checks for surrogate pairs and is sometimes incorrect when handling ligatures. One way to clean this up would be to switch to using typographic character units internally: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/#typographic-character-unit

The new spec text for SVG text layout is written based on this term:
