In gfxFont.cpp and gfxTextRun.cpp, some template methods have logic that is intended only for 8-bit or 16-bit text such as [1].

if (sizeof(T) == sizeof(char16_t)) {
    ....
}

This kind of if expression can be determined at the compile time, so it's better to use if constexpr.

The compiler might already be smart enough to not generate code in an
if-statement that guarantees to be false at compile time. However it's no harm
to make it explicit by using if constexpr.
