PR summary
We needed the new version because autotools didn't know about Windows-on-ARM. But we build with Meson now, and overlay a Meson build system for FreeType, so it either works for both of us or it doesn't (and it does).
Dropping down to the older version means that tests pass on Windows ARM without any need to mess with tolerance or generating new images.
Note: we don't build for Windows on ARM because dependencies aren't there, but they're quite close, so we can enable that soon.
