[cairo] [PATCH] scaled-font: optimize cairo_scaled_font_text_to_glyphs()

We use "toy" text API extensively on all platforms where it is
infeasible to add font faces directly (i.e. use FreeType while avoiding
the fontconfig). Please don't make it any slower than it is.

 It already became much slower when the font lookup that was cached
started being made on every single font selection (terrible decision,
that necessitated our own higher level cache). Deoptimizing a commonly
used API seems to be unproductive.

(And please for the love of all that's good do not suggest Pango).
