Fix bug 0000151: File loading not properly handled.
Link to bug: https://obsproject.com/mantis/view.php?id=151
A newly selected font is not loaded properly if "read from file" is
active without a valid file. Old error handling lead to random memory
being displayed.

On windows, carriage return characters are used along with line feed
characters. When the carriage return is used, it's rendered as a space.
This removes carriage returns from strings before rendering them via
freetype.
Doing this in the expression will cause it to execute the function every
time the expression is evaluated, which is needless cycles wasted.
Instead, call wcslen before the loops begin.
Typedef pointers are unsafe. If you do:
typedef struct bla *bla_t;
then you cannot use it as a constant, such as: const bla_t, because
that constant will be to the pointer itself rather than to the
underlying data. I admit this was a fundamental mistake that must
be corrected.
All typedefs that were pointer types will now have their pointers
removed from the type itself, and the pointers will be used when they
are actually used as variables/parameters/returns instead.
This does not break ABI though, which is pretty nice.
Originally, I tested the fontconfig code on mac and it was working
swimmingly. However, it seems to be related to the fact that I am using
the ports/homebrew version of fontconfig. Most users do not have that
version, and instead use the system built-in version of fontconfig,
which apparently does not find any mac fonts.. at all. So, this
reverts the mac code to the older mac code we were using to manually
find and associate fonts with font files on the mac.
GCC marks fread as a function that will throw a warning if you do not
use its return value. This is most likely done as a measure to ensure
code security.
This uses fontconfig for looking up font files for freetype to use on
both linux and mac. It's apparently a bit more optimal and prevents us
from having to worry about the load time on the mac version as well.
Refactored and moved all the old code to the find-font-windows.c file,
as it's no longer used on anything but windows.
When looking up translated font names within font files, it was not
checking for null on the 'charset' variable (the translation character
set wasn't added/availble).
it is now possible to build text-freetype2 on linux if you comment out a return() otherwise there would have been an error
Also i made the word iconv in find_package lower case, to match the APPLE cmake code
This changes the font plugin from using a font file to using a specific
installed system font, which is searched for on each specific system and
associated with the font file. It now uses a font property instead of a
path property, and font size has been removed because the font property
now handles that.
When the module is first loaded, it will build up a list of system fonts
in order to be usable by Freetype. It was quite painful to program this
because font files can contain multiple localized versions of their face
names, and then there was the issue where windows likes to mangle
custom style types to the font name. Regardless, it all seems to have
worked out pretty well.
Minor issues:
- Truetype/Opentype fonts sometimes do not automatically have
italic and/or bold styles available, it seems that the system applies
transformations manually in those cases. We don't do this yet,
however, so right now a user might select a font with italic/bold
only to discover that italic/bold doesn't always work. Not entirely
sure what to do about this yet. There's probably a freetype function
to do something like that somehow,
This also requires that iconv be used for non-windows systems to be able
to look up localized font names within font files. Windows will use
the win32 API and code page IDs to translate font names.
