freetype error for curved label

[Steve Lime]

The follow support requires a newish version of GD that provided
extended metrics from Freetype.
We can't test in configure for that function, but we can test for
another function that was added
in that version. The relevant test when you watch for configure is
looking for gdImageOpenPolygon.
If that's found you have enough for path following labels.

Basically you need gd 2.0.29+ but 2.0.33 is recommended.
