Recreate the NodeJS script lv_font_conv in Python as lv_font_conv.py using Pillow library

run in InfiniTime directory with:

python3 src/resources/lv_font_conv.py --size 200 --output "build/fonts/jetbrains_mono_bold_20_py.c" --bpp 1 --format lvgl --no-compress --font "src/displayapp/fonts/JetBrainsMono-Bold.ttf" --range "0x20-0x22" --range "0x50-0x55"

Currently not working as the created glyphs don't quite match the originial JS versions

Glyps 21 (!), 22 ", 50 P and 55 U from Python Script:

out_0_21_c out_0_22_m out_0_50_m out_0_55_m

Same glyps from JS:

out_js_u21 out_js_u22 out_js_u50 out_js_u55

The rendered glyps-bitmaps are nearly right. Off by one pixel width most
of the time.

Offset-y is a mystery to me. As well as the baseline value at the bottom
