If a new fallback font is discovered during paragraph layout, the fallback font cache in txt::FontCollection will use that font in future layouts. However, that cache is not available if the new fallback font needs to be used for other characters within the current layout. This PR adds a cache to minikin::FontCollection and checks whether fonts in the cache can handle a character before calling the fallback font provider.

Flutter Engine
Flutter is Google's mobile app SDK for crafting high-quality native interfaces in record time. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.
The Flutter Engine is a portable runtime for hosting Flutter applications. It implements Flutter's core libraries, including animation and graphics, file and network I/O, accessibility support, plugin architecture, and a Dart runtime and compile toolchain. Most developers will interact with Flutter via the Flutter Framework, which provides a modern, reactive framework, and a rich set of platform, layout and foundation widgets.
