Hello,

This patch removes the bundled freetype2 library on `rust-freetype-sys-0.13'.

Also removes unneeded build dependencies (`pkg-config' and `cmake').

One less bundled dependency ;).

I've noticed this in antioxidant (and fixed it there locally) but didn't 
report it yet.

Anyway, this can be done more simple -- all that I needed to do was 
deleting the freetype2 subdirectory (in a snippet) and adding 'freetype' 
to inputs.  Patching the build script or build.rs was not necessary.

Additionally, I noticed that in the modified build.rs, only 
rustc-link-lib (-l) is set, but not rustc-link-search (-L). Antioxidant 
needs the latter to be set, otherwise dependents will fail to link 
because of not finding the freetype library.

Greetings,
Maxime.

Thought that the pkg-config `if' block was for Android only, my mistake.

Probably influenced by the compilation error caused by not building
without the freetype2 directory, because `pkg-config' was not present.

This reminds me of also fixing `rust-bzip2-sys-0.1' in the future because
it also doesn't specify the linker search path because the default build
script was removed like I did in this case.

See:

https://github.com/alexcrichton/bzip2-rs/blob/bzip2-sys-0.1.9/bzip2-sys/build.rs#L12-L23

I don't know our stance on this though, or if there's a policy that
mandates removing compilation support for bundled code or to leave it as
is as long as the code compiles. I'd leave it as it though to make
maintenance easier and less modifications to the original source code.

Thanks for the review!

Closing since unbundling has been done already and crates-io will be removed.
