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...
