Change fonts size for SquirrelSql and other Java Swing Apps for hidpi monitors

Boils down to adding a couple of Java switches to the start script:
-Dswing.plaf.metal.controlFont=Tahoma-18 -Dswing.plaf.metal.userFont=Tahoma-18

For example, in squirrel-sql.sh, modify this line to include the above:
$JAVACMD -Xmx256m -Dswing.plaf.metal.controlFont=Tahoma-24 -Dswing.plaf.metal.userFont=Tahoma-24 -cp "$TMP_CP" $MACOSX_SQUIRREL_PROPS -splash:icons/splash.jpg net.sourceforge.squirrel_sql.client.Main --log-config-file "$UNIX_STYLE_HOME"/log4j.properties --squirrel-home "$UNIX_STYLE_HOME" $NATIVE_LAF_PROP $SCRIPT_ARGS

No one is fit to be trusted with power. ... No one. ... Any man who has lived at all knows the follies and wickedness he's capable of. ... And if he does know it, he knows also that neither he nor any man ought to be allowed to decide a single human fate.
