Jonathan Kew a1c5d47ba6 Bug 1587094 - Create a pref to control whether we use DirectWrite's bold simulation or multi-strike synthetic bold; default to multi-strike for webfonts. r=lsalzman
This is designed to mitigate the problem of third-party fonts that render poorly
under DirectWrite's bold simulation, by using multi-strike synthetic bold (like
we use on macOS) instead.

The behavior is controlled by a pref, so that we can readily switch between
using DWrite's bold simulation for all fonts (pref=2, our current behavior);
using it only for installed fonts and falling back to multi-strike for webfonts
(pref=1, new behavior); or never using the DWrite simulation (pref=0).
