Xpra: Ticket #2550: trim win32 client builds

They don't really need all the video codecs since we don't do video with webcam forwarding and webcam forwarding is currently broken anyway. Then we can also drop numpy and save tens of MB.

$ du -sk * | sort -n | tail

In share:

$ du -sk share/* | sort -n | tail

16136   share/fonts

Maybe trim the fonts?

$ du -sk share/fonts/* | sort -n | tail
704     share/fonts/cantarell
2224    share/fonts/adobe-source-code-pro
3184    share/fonts/gsfonts

$ du -sk lib/* | sort -n | tail

6484    lib/libgtk-3-0.dll
9480    lib/library.zip
21888   lib/avcodec-58.dll

in library.zip:

$ du -sk * | sort -n | tail
252     email
273     multiprocessing
293     comtypes
316     pyasn1

361     pycparser
424     pkg_resources
625     paramiko
4356    encodings
23300   OpenGL

The best way to save more would be to completely skip or rebuild a leaner ffmpeg avcodec library. This will do for now.

We've saved 7M on the exe size:

$ du -sm *exe
58      Xpra-Client-Python3-x86_64_Setup_4.0-r24958.exe
51      Xpra-Client-Python3-x86_64_Setup_4.0-r24971.exe

Can this font somehow be added?

(xpra_cmd:4876): Pango-WARNING **: 10:47:07.914: couldn't load font "Bitstream Vera Sans Not-Rotated 14.662109375", falling back to "Sans Not-Rotated 14.662109375", expect ugly output.

I don't remember a client log where I haven't seen this message. Maybe it's also related to the fact that non-bold dots are hard to read in the terminal?

No: #2590

It isn't. Xpra has no control over how fonts are handled in your terminal application.
