Better approach to bold

This patch illustrates the better bold approach.  It synthesizes bold by
creating a thickening effect using stroking.  I'm not requesting review though,
since I am having trouble figuring out how to get the effect I want using the
ATSU code path.

The ATSU code path looks totally bogus to me right now, since it seems like it
will do an overstrike of the entire run if any FontData at all in some
sub-section of the run has synthetic bold.
