Use `font-lock-append-text-property' to non-destructively modify a
string
* ivy.el (ivy--add-face): Improve.
`font-lock-append-text-property' non-destructively changes properties in
a string, which means if a string was copied from another and modified,
the original will not be changed.
In this way, it's better than `add-face-text-property'; and still better
than `propertize' that simply erases all properties before applying.
Fixes #22
