Ok to remove. This only optimizes mistaken calls to FT_Render_Glyph on
bitmap fonts. A related question is whether we need FT_LOAD_TARGET_SDF
for FT_Load_Glyph?

Indeed, the bitmap-to-sdf renderer should be separate as it hardly
shares anything.

I would be less worried about FT_Property_Set if FreeType reserved the
right to remove (ignore) or change properties when it is reasonable to
do so, i.e. properties should not be considered a part of API.
