Description
I forgot to do this in #2602
https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/blob/8ccddbe553d067936f289db61a6fca87c4b9b3bd/src/CanvasRenderingContext2d.cc#L2546-L2547
This is a harder API to use, but I need to do it so that v4 doesn't break text being embedded in PDFs.

Research direction
Start at src/CanvasRenderingContext2d.cc around the linked lines and compare the existing text-rendering path with Cairo's cairo_show_text_glyphs API. Verify the change against PDF output; done means text remains embedded rather than breaking in v4.
