And I've now made font_parse_xlfd try harder to make sense of font names
like:

(set-frame-font "-Take-mikachan-puchi-normal-normal-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1")

I've tried to be as backwards-compatible as possible -- only trying to
interpret this as a family name of "mikachan-puchi" is parsing it the
normal way fails.

So this should be fixed in Emacs 28.
