SIGBUSes would happen on mips64el when starting Rex Nebular, or when using the 'quotes' command in the debugger. Also reported by UBSan in standard builds.

Looks good. I'm merging this in now. And I'll apply the suggested font fix. |

I have an old MIPS device, where unaligned accesses cause a plain crash with a SIGBUS.
Some of them happen with Rex Nebular, when trying to play the first scene, or when using the
quotescommand in the debugger.(Playing a build with
--enable-ubsanalso triggers the issue on a regular x86/aarch64 desktop).The following diff fixes this.
OK?
(also: it's not part of the PR, but the following change could provide a guarantee that no similar unaligned access is done in
font_write(). But I'm not experiencing any crash there yet, maybe it's always at an aligned place, in practice.))
