PR summary

I pulled this out of #30725 because it was independent of that, and was the cause of the image changes there, so it might be easier to review this as a separate change. The test image changes are rather subtle effects on the edges of rotated text, and probably nothing to worry about.

Note, I have prepared a refactor including #30039 if you want to wait before/after that is merged.

Actually, let's get #30039 in first, given that you already did the necessary work to build on top of it; thanks!

Now rebased to include the changes to draw_tex since #30039 went in. The test image changes are the same as before, since they were due to the first commit here. I'll leave this until tomorrow just in case there's anything you want to re-review here.

This makes it more similar to `draw_mathtext`, and is necessary for
colour fonts, where the previously-cached bitmap would have been
downgraded to black&white strokes by FreeType when copied. It should
also reduce the necessary code paths with the other text drawing methods
as well.
All the glyph drawing loop is the same, other than a flexible size in
the former.
All the glyph drawing loop is the same, other than a slight transform
difference with slant/extend in the former.
