Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8001922
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8001927
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8001921
These three bugs are all tightly related. The logic for detecting the
freetype library has been really messy, and these were three of the ways
the deficiencies showed themselves, but they were all resulting from the
core problem.
I have redesigned the way freetype detection work, to be more in line
with the normal way we detect "problematic" stuff in configure, that is,
probe in suitable locations with decreasing precision, and check
thouroughly what we find. (In this case, by compiling with the header
files and linking with the library).
