The RenderingFreeTypeOpenGL module no longer exists -- it only implemented
a single class (vtkFreeTypeOpenGLTextMapper), which has been reimplemented
in vtkTextMapper to reuse the same rendering backend as the other text
objects. Since the old implementation will not be compatible with the
OpenGL2 backend, it has been removed.
