Add support for variable-pitch fonts in 'visual-wrap-prefix-mode'

* lisp/emacs-lisp/subr-x.el (string-pixel-width): Allow passing BUFFER
to use the face remappings from that buffer when calculating the width.

* lisp/visual-wrap.el (visual-wrap--prefix): Rename to...
(visual-wrap--adjust-prefix): ... this, and support PREFIX as a number.
(visual-wrap-fill-context-prefix): Make obsolete in favor of...
(visual-wrap--content-prefix): ... this.
(visual-wrap-prefix-function): Extract inside of loop into...
(visual-wrap--apply-to-line): ... this.

* doc/lispref/display.texi (Size of Displayed Text): Update
documentation for 'string-pixel-width'.

* etc/NEWS: Announce this change.
