The handling of `FREETYPE_PROPERTIES' doesn't work like this.  The
first step would be to search whether `svg_hooks' corresponds to a
property.  Let's say yes.  The next step would be to check whether
`asdjkfsjlfdk' is one of the allowed values for `svg_hooks'.  Assuming
that valid values are `librsvg', `resvg', and `svgnative', the answer
is no, and the value would be ignored.

To make that work, ports for the values `librsvg', `resvg', and
`svgnative' must be registered in FreeType.  However, I think this is
really overkill and not needed.  Let's just have a driver property
that is not exposed via `FREETYPE_PROPERTIES'.
