bug#30539: 26.0; `char-displayable-p' is much slower in Emacs 25 and 26

[Drew Adams]

This is not from emacs -Q, and I do have many fonts installed.  I
repeated it from emacs -Q and I've attached those profiler reports
also.  But with emacs -Q the test code (`my-test') finished
immediately.  With my setup it took many seconds.  I use this font
by default - dunno whether that makes the difference:

(font . "-outline-Lucida 
Console-normal-normal-normal-mono-4-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1")
(font-parameter . "-*-Lucida Console-normal-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1")

Recipe I followed:

Evaluate the attached code (`throw-mule-bug.el'), then look at buffers
*CPU Profiler Report* and *Memory Profiler Report*.  I've attached these
reports as files:

throw-mule-bug-memory-report-E26-Q - Emacs 26 from emacs -Q
throw-mule-bug-cpu-report-E26-Q    - Emacs 26 from emacs -Q
throw-mule-bug-memory-report-E24 - Emacs 24.5 with my setup
throw-mule-bug-cpu-report-E24    - Emacs 24.5 with my setup
throw-mule-bug-memory-report-E26 - Emacs 26P2 with my setup
throw-mule-bug-cpu-report-E26    - Emacs 26P2 with my setup
 
In Emacs 25.3.1 and 26 `char-displayable-p' is MUCH slower
than it is in Emacs 24.5.  In 24.5 the evaluation of `my-test'
seems instantaneous.  In Emacs 26 it takes many seconds.
