wm4 05cd4c9e08 console: use hidpi scale reporting
I decided to factor this into the user's scale option (instead of
somehow using it as default if the user has not specified it), because
it makes the option handling simpler, and won't break things like
per-screen DPI if the user only wants to scale the console font by a
factor.

CONSOLE
=======
The console is a REPL for mpv input commands. It is displayed on the video
window. It also shows log messages. It can be disabled entirely using the
``--load-osd-console=no`` option.
Keybindings
-----------
\`
Show the console.
ESC
Hide the console.
ENTER
Run the typed command.
Shift+ENTER
Type a literal newline character.
Ctrl+LEFT and Ctrl+RIGHT
Move cursor to previous/next word.
UP and DOWN
Navigate command history.
PGUP
Go to the first command in the history.
PGDN
Stop navigating command history.
INSERT
Toggle insert mode.
Shift+INSERT
Paste text (uses the primary selection on X11.)
TAB
Complete the command or property name at the cursor.
Ctrl+C
Clear current line.
Ctrl+K.
Delete text from the cursor to the end of the line.
Ctrl+L
Clear all log messages from the console.
Ctrl+U
Delete text from the cursor to the beginning of the line.
Ctrl+V

Ctrl+W

Commands
--------
``script-message-to console type <text>``
Show the console and pre-fill it with the provided text.
Known issues
------------
- Pasting text is slow on Windows
- Non-ASCII keyboard input has restrictions
- The cursor keys move between Unicode code-points, not grapheme clusters
Configuration
-------------
This script can be customized through a config file ``script-opts/console.conf``
placed in mpv's user directory and through the ``--script-opts`` command-line
option. The configuration syntax is described in `ON SCREEN CONTROLLER`_.
Key bindings can be changed in a standard way, see for example stats.lua
documentation.
Configurable Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``scale``
Default: 1
All drawing is scaled by this value, including the text borders and the
cursor.
If the VO backend in use has HiDPI scale reporting implemented, the option
value is scaled with the reported HiDPI scale.
``font``
Default: unset (picks a hardcoded font depending on detected platform)
Set the font used for the REPL and the console. This probably doesn't
have to be a monospaced font.
``font_size``
Default: 16
Set the font size used for the REPL and the console. This will be
multiplied by "scale."
