Creates a new text layer.
This procedure creates a new text layer displaying the specified text. By default the width and height of the layer will be
determined by the text contents, the font, size and unit.
The new layer still needs to be added to the image as this is not automatic. Add the new layer with the [method@Image.insert_layer] method.
The arguments are kept as simple as necessary for the basic case. All text attributes, however, can be modified with the appropriate `gimp_text_layer_set_*()` procedures.
