[cairo] Subpixel positioning

[Behdad Esfahbod]

Thanks Matthias.  This looks surprisingly short and good!

I think we should get this in, then:

- Implement it on the Xlib backend,

- Figure out if we want to turn image backend's / Xlib backend's default
font options to disable metrics-hinting.  I'm not sure.
