[ft] Subpixel Hinting Patch

[Moony]

This one adds back a couple features that the older patches had, that do
apparently follow the whitepaper after all. DejaVu fonts are fixed as
well as Palatino Linotype, italics, and some glyph shapes (e.g. w x y
z). Some regressions in Courier New. Not intended to be a totally
clean patch, but should perform well overall.

Thanks. BTW, if we are going to apply this to the git repository, I
strong ask you to split your huge patch into smaller, logical units so
that it becomes easier to understand the changes.

Unfortunately, I have no time currently to test your changes.
