Older versions of chrome text rendering breaks (chrome 48)

[baversjo]

mapbox-gl-js version:

1. 1.3.1 (and whatever runs on your site)

browser:
chrome 48 on osx

Steps to Trigger Behavior

1. Download this older version of chrome, chrome 48: https://sourceforge.net/projects/osxportableapps/files/Chromium/Chromium_OSX_48.0.2564.116.dmg/download
2. goto your simple example: https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/simple-map/
3. see how text is incorrectly rendered:

Expected Behavior

Text should render in correct size

Actual Behavior

text is rendered in huge size

Mapbox gl 0.45 works perfectly on chrome 48 by the way.

the reason I'm filing this is because I have devices using mapbox gl on android 4.4 and they're stuck on this version of chrome and are affected by this.

if you do not want to solve this bug maybe you would consider disabling showing text on older versions of chrome so at least the map renders?

Maps on chrome versions < 48 seem useless.
Until it's fixed, a useful change for those of us who rely on mapboxgl.supported() : return false for the browser-versions in which the problem occurs.
Team: can you make this change?

I tried this, but 0.45 has the same rendering error on Chrome 48.

The last version that was still working correctly is 0.34. The commit that starts failing in Chrome 48 is 13363a2, as part of #4455.
