Subject: [PATCH] cairo: Use stem darkening for glyphs

This involves tweaking a freetype driver property
directly, since cairo font options don't cover this.

So the code is a bit ugly, but it does make text
appear better, in particular at small sizes.

See https://freetype.org/freetype2/docs/hinting/text-rendering-general.html
