+	Add data types required for the forthcoming 'sdf' module.
+
+	* include/freetype/freetype.h (FT_Render_Mode): Add new render mode
+	`FT_RENDER_MODE_SDF`, which will be used to generate SDF.
+
+	* include/freetype/ftimage.h (FT_Pixel_Mode): Add new pixel mode
+	`FT_PIXEL_MODE_GRAY16`, which will be the output of the 'sdf'
+	module.
+	(FT_RASTER_FLAG_SDF): New raster flag to be used internally by the
+	'sdf' module.
