Cairo doesn't support RTL text. So giving cairo_glyph_t instance through harfbuzz-cairo to cairo.

Checking with google-noto-fonts, the number of icon files without this patch was:

$ tar tvfa /tmp/repodata/example-icons.tar.gz| wc -l
292

and with this patch:

$ tar tvfa /tmp/repodata/example-icons.tar.gz| wc -l
296

Please note that this patch is based on #496

This change aims to improve a text in summary and the order of
screenshots for Regular style of fonts.

Removing a direct dependency to FreeType as a side-effect.

Fixes hughsie#493
