Proposed patch for print/freetype2 (since 441132)

Attached new proposed patch.

By the way, I also found related topic on some Arch Linux forum:
"freetype2 2.8 line spacing issue":
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1712478
where some author (Chazza) proposed freetype2-ttmetrics AUR package:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1717280#p1717280
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freetype2-ttmetrics/
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/?h=freetype2-ttmetrics

But its current version (on 2017-06-11 date) contains some unnecessary changes,
in my opinion, like defining AF_CONFIG_OPTION_TT_SIZE_METRICS:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/enable_truetype_like_size_metrics.p
atch?h=freetype2-ttmetrics&id=a59d3ddd0388a9331b2e6cf0780ab273c38e61f6
or reverting too much (in my opinion, after some tests) and didn't check for
error value before ttsize->root.metrics assign:
