Resolves #4366

The issue reported that the stroke was incorrectly positioned when writing the text 'Sample Overlay Text'. Testing for that issue, I found that it was only happening for FreeType < 2.9 - all three of the values being used in calculating the ascender (bitmap.rows, glyph_slot->bitmap_top and PIXEL(glyph_info[i].y_offset)) were zero. I find that always passing in FT_LOAD_RENDER when loading the glyphs for those calculations fixes that.

However, FreeType < 2.9 is a scenario in our test environments, so why wasn't this picked up? It's because 'Sample Overlay Text' has descenders - 'p' and 'y' go below the baseline of the text. The current stroke text tests involve 'A', 'A\nB' and 'ABC\nAaaa' - no descenders.
