[poppler] Exposing hinting setting

Looking at how we handle font hinting, i see:
- Cairo outputdev disables it always
- Splash one does a "weird" case-by-case:
* If the truetype bytecode interpreter is one -> enable
(although there is a comment saying the interpreter
does not use hinting, but bug 9862 seems to say otherwise)
* else
if using antialias -> disable
else -> enable
So, should we expose hinting setting through a GlobalParams setting that can
be set from "userspace" via the glib/qt bindings? So that users that like
hinting can set it to on? Or is freetype hinting so bad having it always off
is the best?
Comments?
Albert
