[LyX/2.3.x] Cache the value of GuiFontMetrics::lbearing().

[Jean-Marc Lasgouttes]

commit e0879b14602c0aff25ba951f6aa1277e4a94f988
Author: Jean-Marc Lasgouttes <lasgout...@lyx.org>

    Cache the value of GuiFontMetrics::lbearing().
    
    This seems to be necessary on windows, where math editing can get very
    slow. Note that other methods like rbearing already use a cache.
    
    In the future all these caches for single characters shall be unified.
    
    (cherry picked from commit d3979e798cd9c85041bb5e6158002384a8cddb8c)
