Ben Wiederhake c9bafa9467 FontEditor: Cannot take reference to local lambda
Under the hood, a lambda is just a struct full of pointers/references/copies and whatever else
the compiler deems necessary. In the case of 'update_demo', the struct lives on the stack
frame of FontEditorWidget::FontEditorWidget(). Hence it is still alive when it's called
during the constructor.

However, when 'fixed_width_checkbox.on_checked' fires, that stack frame is no longer alive,
and thus the *reference* to the (struct of) the lambda is invalid\! This meant that
'update_demo' silently read invalid data, tried to call '.update()' on some innocent arbitrary
memory address, and it crashed somewhere unrelated.

Passing 'update_demo' by value (like with all the other event handlers) fixes this issue.
Note that this solution only works because 'update_demo' itself has no state; otherwise
the various copies of 'update_demo' might notice that they are, in fact, independent copies
of the original lambda. But that doesn't matter here.
