Glyph indices now typed distinctly from character codes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Previously, character codes and glyph indices were both typed as `int`, which means you
could mix and match them erroneously. While the character code can't be made a distinct
type (because it's used for `chr`/`ord`), typing glyph indices as a distinct type means
these can't be fully swapped.
