    * This is backporting AknBidiTextUtils::MeasureTextBoundsWidth from S60 3.1 to have that
    * functionality also when running hitchcock on S60 3.0 platform
    *
    * Measures the full horizontal width in pixels of the passed-in text using a particular font, 
    * including in the width any side-bearings of the glyphs at the ends of the text, and any
    * declared "advance" of the run of glyphs. 
    * 
    * It cannot be used for vertical text measurement.
    * 
    * Side-bearings are parts of glyphs that extend left or right from the normal width
    * or "advance" of the glyph. A left side-bearing, for instance, will overlap with a glyph
    * to its left. Another way of thinking about this is that the origin (0,0) of the glyph is 
    * not at its bottom left. 
    *
    * The advance of a run of glyphs is the sum of the advances - once in visual ordering and 
    * shaping has been performed - of all the glyphs. It is defined relative to a drawing origin.
    * 
    * Within runs of text, side-bearings do not contribute to the width of the text. However,
    * at the (visual) ends of text, they are likely to need to be counted, depending upon the
    * exact use case.
    * 
    * This method returns the width of the horizontal envelope of the text by taking the extreme 
    * horizontal extents of the text bounds rectangle (which includes side-bearings on either end)
    * and the extent of the advance. Thus it returns the width of :
    *   Min(<left_text_bound>, 0), Max( <right_text_bound>, <advance>)
    *   
    * This method should be used when the proposed text is going to be drawn using any horizontal
    * CGraphicsContext::DrawText drawing API. 
    *
    * The text can be in visual or logical order.
    *
    * @since 3.1
    * @param aFont  Font to use
    * @param aText  Text to be measured
    * @param aOrder Whether the text provided is in visual or logical order
    * @return       width of the text in pixels.
