[autofit] Fix double division in stem darkening.

The old code used to divide the darkening amount by em_ratio twice,
leading to unnecessarily bold stems on certain fonts with higher
units per em (e.g. Inter). This patch fixes it.

The return value of af_loader_compute_darkening was also changed to
use 16.16 fixed point to get rid of a redundant truncation operation.
This should slightly improve the precision, although it's still
bottlenecked by the emboldening function, which uses 26.6 fixed point.

* src/autofit/afloader.[ch]
(af_loader_compute_darkening): Return FT_Fixed.
(af_loader_embolden_glyph_in_slot): Revise calculations.
