Now that all the other junk is being dropped from the file, script info
lines are the only thing left which was a concrete AssEntry, and
AssEntry wasn't actually a very good way to store them.
Character counts are a pretty terrible measure of anything, but it's
still the main measure of length used in most subtitling standards
(because subtitling standards are written under the assumption that the
tools are terrible (which is generally an accurate assumption)).

Note: The large jump in memory usage here is due to that the benchmark
is blocking the main thread, so at the end there are ~100 video frames
waiting to be displayed.
This eliminates the need to explicitly delete the parsed blocks.
Also go ahead and remove AssDialogue::Blocks since it's really not a
very good idea in general.
FcFontRenderPrepare discards excess family names and fullnames, so in
some cases it may be impossible to verify that the font returned by it
is the one we asked for. To work around this, prefilter the available
fonts to only do fontconfig's matching on the ones with the correct
names.
