ft_glyphslot_preset_bitmap is by no means perfect and should be split
between the native renderers. I am just asking to detach bbox
calculation (or rather bitmap size and pixel position) from rendering.
There are applications that need the size and position well before the
bitmap is allocated and rendered. Do not assume otherwise.
