LCD text in Canvas

[Phil Race]

We could easily add API to support LCD text on Canvas although
we wanted to minimise the amount of Text related API there until
we have more experience with how people use it and how it should
be developed in general.
The blurriness is down to the grayscale text being unhinted so it
behaves predictably under transformations as supposed to be the most
typical canvas uses case. This is also why its the default on a Text node.
