[smooth] Simplify cubic Bézier flattening.
The previous implementation is correct but it is too complex.
The revised algorithm is based on the fact that each split moves
the control points closer to the trisection points on the chord.
The corresponding distances are good surrogates for the curve
deviation from the straight line.
This cubic flattening algorithm is somewhat similar to the conic
algorithm based the distance from the control point to the middle of
the chord. The cubic distances, however, decrease less predictably
but are easy enough to calculate on each step.
* src/smooth/ftgrays.c (gray_render_cubic): Replace the split
condition.
