Improve font layout in Linux / Freetype platforms.
This patch contains two small changes:
* Fix the font size calculation that is passed to Freetype. This
now matches exactly how Webrender and Gecko calculate font size
to pass to layout.
* Enable light hinting by default for fonts when using Freetype.
We should make this configurable in the future, but this is a
better default than no hinting (and matches what most Linux
distros default to).
These two changes (along with the pending WR update) fix a lot
of the font layout issues on Linux. There is still at least one
remaining issue with hidpi displays on Linux that will be fixed
in a follow up patch.

This uses a (very simple) Win32 API call to enumerate font
families available, and load them as byte buffers.
The font rasterization itself is done by freetype.
This gets Servo + WR + Windows working, but should be improved
by adding a proper implementation that matches fonts correctly
and also uses DirectWrite (or GDI) to handle font rasterization.
Make font template data load fallible
Remove a TODO around dealing with a failed file operation.
Can we write an automated test for this? I don't really know what font template data is, but this failure seems to be fontconfig-specific...

to 400, not 500.
CSS `normal` font-weight is specified as 400, while Mac "Regular" font
weight is reported as 0.0. On the Mac, we need to center the two ranges
on the same value to avoid choosing "Light" fonts where "Regular" would
have been more appropriate.
Closes#9487.
