Updated.

You may think of this patch as:
1. moving outline emboldening code from FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden to
   FT_Outline_Embolden,
2. implementing FT_Bitmap_Embolden, and
3. making FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden depend on both of them.

And as the previous one, both FT_Outline_Embolden and FT_Bitmap_Embolden
needs discussions on what arguments they should take.

A glyph slot should be for glyph loading, not for glyph manipulations.
So I think a FT_Glyph_Embolden might be better.
