perf: Improve font drawing performance (#978)

Browse Source 
## Summary

* ``renderChar`` checked ``is2Bit`` on every pixel inside the inner
loop, even though the value is constant for the lifetime of a single
glyph
* Moved the branch above both loops so each path (2-bit antialiased /
1-bit monochrome) runs without a per-pixel conditional
* Eliminates redundant work in the two inner loops that render font
glyphs to the frame buffer, targeting ``renderChar`` and
``drawTextRotated90CW`` in ``GfxRenderer.cpp``

## Additional Context
* Measured on device using a dedicated framebuffer benchmark (no display
refresh). 100 repetitions of "The quick brown fox jumps".

| Test            | Before          | After           | Change  |
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------|
| drawText UI12   | 1,337 µs/call | 1,024 µs/call | −23%|
| drawText Bookerly14 | 2.174 µs / call | 1,847 µs/call | −15% |
