Nico Weber 384c6cf0f9 LibPDF: Tweak vertical position of truetype fonts again
See #22821 for a previous attempt. This attempt should settle
things once and for all.

The opentype render path adjusts by `-font_ascender * -y_scale` in
Glyf::Glyph::append_simple_path(), so that's what we need to undo
to draw at the font's baseline.

(OpenType::Font::metrics() returns ascender scaled by y_scale already,
so no need to have the scale here where we undo the shift.)

Previously, we called `baseline()` which just returns the font's
font size, which is pretty meaningless:

Also, conceptually it makes sense to translate up by the ascender
to get from the upper edge of the glyph to the baseline.
