Robby Findler 0d6b825377 add a preference to control whether or not there is an extra
pixel of space in between lines in DrRacket.

This change is based on Matthew's experience having a look
at the font setup on the three platforms.

He writes:
>  * Mac OS X: the convention seems to be to add space between lines.
>   TextEdit, for example, looks like DrRacket: the maze has spaces.

>   if I adjust the line spacing.)

>   font. DrRacket (and SirMail) draw lines more sparsely than Notepad.

>   Perhaps consistent with the differing conventions, the height of
>   "Courier New" at 11-pixel size is 14 on Windows, 13 on Mac OS X.

>   The maze nevertheless looks right everywhere, because the glyphs
>   extend an extra pixel above the declared bounding box!
