NRK 7269c5355d significantly improve performance on large strings 
this replaces inefficient pattern of `MIN(TEXTW(..), n)` with
drw_fontset_getwidth_clamp() instead, which is far more efficient when
we only want up to a certain width.

dumping a decently sized (unicode) emoji file into dmenu, I see the
startup time drop significantly with this patch.

before -> after
360ms  -> 160ms

this should also noticeably improve input latency (responsiveness) given
that calcoffsets() and drawmenu() are pretty hot functions.
