Description

Parley's tests, benchmarks, and several examples currently depend on an old git version of `glifo` that had built-in support for rendering to `vello_cpu` and `vello_hybrid`. Those dependencies have no been reversed, and `vello_cpu` and `vello_hybrid` now depend on `glifo` rather than the other way around.

We should update to this new API and eliminate direct references to `glifo` in this repo until such time as it's public API is "ready".

Research direction

Search the tests, benchmarks, examples, and dependency manifests for direct glifo references, then inspect how vello_cpu and vello_hybrid now provide the needed API. Update those references and verify that the tests, benchmarks, and examples build without direct glifo dependencies.
