Make the shadow bold offset configurable, after discovering that

7x13 goes the other way to all other X fonts I've ever seen. (Arrgh.)

+.IP "\fBpterm.ShadowBoldOffset\fP"
+This resource can be set to an integer; the default is -1. It
+specifies the offset at which text is overprinted when using "shadow
+bold" mode. The default (-1) means that the text will be printed in
+the normal place, and also one character to the left; this seems to
+work well for most X bitmap fonts, which have a blank line of pixels
+down the left-hand side. For some fonts, you may need to set this to
++1, so that the text is overprinted one pixel to the right; for
+really large fonts, you may want to set it even higher.

 This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 1. It
 specifies the default state of auto wrap mode. When set to 1, bold
