Fix UnicodeEncodeError in caption drawing

The default PIL bitmap font only covers latin-1, so the em dash (U+2014)
in captions raised UnicodeEncodeError at runtime.

Add _load_font() which tries DejaVu Sans TTF from common system paths
(the fonts-dejavu package is already a listed dependency) and falls back
to the PIL default only when no TTF is found.  Add _draw_caption() which
wraps both the font load and the two-pass drop-shadow draw, and sanitises
the string for the bitmap fallback path so it never crashes.

Replace both raw draw.text caption blocks in composite_full_moon() and
render_phase_closeup() with _draw_caption().
