Description
According to specification, fontBoundingBoxAscent returns following.
> The distance from the horizontal line indicated by the [textBaseline](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/canvas.html#dom-context-2d-textbaseline) attribute to the [ascent metric](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-inline/#ascent-metric) of the [first available font](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts/#first-available-font).
ascent metric is generally takes from font metrics.
(see https://drafts.csswg.org/css-inline/#ascent-descent)
node-canvas seems implemented it in `emHeightAscent`.
