We were turning off hinting and subpixel positioning if the
transform isn't 2D affine. The idea behind this was that transforms
likely indicate animations, and for animations, this may reduce
jitter. But the heuristic of transform==animation is not very
reliable, and we pay for this with a jump from hinted to unhinted
at the beginning and end of it. Also, the heuristic does not even
work for the most relevant 'animation' we have today: scrolling.
So, lets drop this for now. We can revisit it later.
