[PATCH] ft: correct abs(distance) to fabs(distance)

Previous commit a8f1b45 ([FT] Prefer downscaling bitmap glyphs to upscaling)
modified the behavior of Cairo's FT font backend but it seems accidentally
used abs() with a 'double' type argument. The compiler almost silently
converts the double to signed integer and then we get the absolute value
of that signed integer as a signed integer result cast into a double.

The net effect is that min_distance loses precision (fractional part is
discarded by the compiler's conversion of double -> int) and in some cases
observed here some fonts do not render correctly if there was any scaling
involved that actually had a fractional value.
