Fix predict_text_width by using xcb_query_text_extents

This fixes ticket #173, at least for the rendering errors.
I don’t really know why I implemented predict_text_width like it
was before (querying the whole table and pulling out information
one by one). Maybe I have overlooked xcb_query_text_extents. In
any case, it works better now.
