Actually render emoji in calendar event titles; stack duplicate shared events

The earlier fix stripped emoji instead of rendering them, which wasn't
what was asked for. Event titles now draw with two fonts: the usual
default font for text, and a vendored monochrome emoji font (Noto
Emoji, OFL-1.1) for actual emoji runs, so they show up as real glyphs
instead of a tofu box or nothing at all. Monochrome rather than color,
since reliably rendering COLR/CBDT color glyphs depends on how Pillow's
FreeType was built -- not something to depend on across deployments.

Also: events sharing the exact same title and time across different
calendars (e.g. a shared family event synced onto more than one
person's calendar) now collapse into one row instead of showing twice,
with a color bar split between every contributing calendar so it's
still clear whose event it is.
