Behdad Esfahbod 4e4781319b [ft] Add hb_ft_font_changed()
When the font size or variations settings on underlying FT_Face change,
one can call hb_ft_font_changed() and continue using hb_font created using
hb_ft_font_create().

Fixes https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/issues/559

New API:
hb_ft_font_changed()

Chun-wei Fan 835bbdc7c9 Public headers: Decorate public symbols with HB_EXTERN
This prepares the headers for exporting symbols using visibility
attributes or __declspec(dllexport), so that we do not need to maintain
symbols listing files, as this is what was and is done in GLib and GTK+.

Behdad Esfahbod 2a9627c564 [ft] API: Add hb_font_[sg]et_load_flags() API
This changes the default load_flags of fonts created using
hb_ft_font_create() from NO_HINTING to DEFAULT.  Hope that doesn't
break too much client code.

Code calling hb_ft_font_set_funcs() is unaffected.

Behdad Esfahbod 350f3a02ce [ft] Add hb_ft_face_create_referenced() and hb_ft_font_create_referenced()
When I originally wrote hb-ft, FreeType objects did not support reference
counting.  As such, hb_ft_face_create() and hb_ft_font_create() had a
"destroy" callback and client was responsible for making sure FT_Face is
kept around as long as the hb-font/face are alive.

However, since this was not clearly documented, some clienets didn't
correctly did that.  In particular, some clients assumed that it's safe
to destroy FT_Face and then hb_face_t.  This, indeed, used to work, until
45fd9424c7, which make face destroy access
font tables.

Now, I fixed that issue in 395b35903e since
the access was not needed, but the problem remains that not all clients
handle this correctly.  See:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86300

Fortunately, FT_Reference_Face() was added to FreeType in 2010, and so we
can use it now.  Originally I wanted to change hb_ft_face_create() and
hb_ft_font_create() to reference the face if destroy==NULL was passed in.
That would improve pretty much all clients, with little undesired effects.
Except that FreeType itself, when compiled with HarfBuzz support, calls
hb_ft_font_create() with destroy==NULL and saves the resulting hb-font on
the ft-face (why does it not free it immediately?).  Making hb-face
reference ft-face causes a cycling reference there.  At least, that's my
current understanding.

At any rate, a cleaner approach, even if it means all clients will need a
change, is to introduce brand new API.  Which this commit does.

Some comments added to hb-ft.h, hoping to make future clients make better
choices.

Behdad Esfahbod d1c9eb458c Make it an error to include non-top-level headers
Users should #include <hb.h> (or hb-ft.h, hb-glib.h, etc), but
never things like hb-shape.h directly.  This makes it easier to
refactor headers later on without breaking compatibility.

Behdad Esfahbod 38b2118724 [API] Add hb_ft_font_set_funcs(), remove hb_ft_get_font_funcs()
Remove hb_ft_get_font_funcs() as it cannot be used by the user anyway.

Add hb_ft_font_set_funcs().  Which will make the font internally use
FreeType.  That is, no need for the font to have created using the
hb-ft API.  Just create using hb_face_create()/hb_font_create() and
then call this on the font (after having set font scale).  This
internally creates an FT_Face and attached to the font.
