magras a8cb8e9454 fix use after free in font caching algorithm
Current font caching algorithm contains a use after free error. A font
removed from `frc` might be still listed in `wx.specbuf`. It will lead
to a crash inside `XftDrawGlyphFontSpec()`.

Steps to reproduce:
$ st -f 'Misc Tamsyn:scalable=false'
$ curl https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt

Of course, result depends on fonts installed on a system and fontconfig.
In my case, I'm getting consistent segfaults with different fonts.

I replaced a fixed array with a simple unbounded buffer with a constant
growth rate. Cache starts with a capacity of 0, gets increments by 16,
and never shrinks. On my machine after `cat UTF-8-demo.txt` buffer
reaches a capacity of 192. During casual use capacity stays at 0.

st - simple terminal
--------------------
st is a simple terminal emulator for X which sucks less.


Requirements
------------
In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.


Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if
necessary as root):

    make clean install


Running st
----------
If you did not install st with make clean install, you must compile
the st terminfo entry with the following command:

    tic -sx st.info

See the man page for additional details.
