Adding pango patch (ref. #10)

Text from original patch:

Using pango markup for status text

Use a single font. Removed some code utf8 code from drw.
Created for pango 1.44. Older versions might not have getter
for font height, ascent + descent can be used instead.
All texts are rendered with pango but only status is with
markup. Increased stext size (in case a lot of markup is used).
MIN/MAX is already defined (didn't redefine them).

    - [onlyquitonempty](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/onlyquitonempty/)
       - makes it so dwm will only exit via quit() if no windows are open (in order to prevent accidental loss of work)
 
+   - [pango](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/pango/)
+      - adds simple markup for status messages using pango markup

    - [pertag](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/pertag/)
       - adds nmaster, mfact, layouts and more per tag rather than per monitor
