Catch errors and continue parsing in `parseCMap` (issue 7492)

After PR 7039, the PDF file in issue 7492 no longer renders at all, but note that text selection wasn't working correctly previously.

The problem with the PDF file in issue 7492 is that the `cMap`, in the `toUnicode` entry in the font, contains an invalid name:
```
/CMapName /-usr-share-fonts-truetype-Panton-Panton Family-Fontfabric - Panton.otf,000-UTF16 def
```
When we parse that line, things obviously break because there are spaces present in the wrong places.
To avoid that issue, the patch simply lets `parseCMap` continue when errors are encountered, to try and recover usable data. Note that by not aborting immediatly when an error is encountered, we are also able to fix the text selection.

Obviously, it could be argued that we should just immediatly reject a corrupt `cMap`. But given that they usually are correct, it seems that trying to recover as much data as possible from corrupt one can only be a good thing for both glyph mapping and text selection.

Fixes 7492.
