[freetype2] master 77bbfc596: API documentation: Re-organize chapters an


From: Werner Lemberg
Subject: [freetype2] master 77bbfc596: API documentation: Re-organize chapters and sections
Date: Sun, 30 Apr 2023 10:47:22 -0400 (EDT)

branch: master
commit 77bbfc5960f47412f8d433948bcb3317e9c93b7c
Author: Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
Commit: Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>

    API documentation: Re-organize chapters and sections
    
    * Split the very long 'Base Interface' section into smaller sections.
    * Split the 'Core API' chapter into two chapters.
    * Remove single enumeration values from `@order` fields since they have no
      effect.
