Add internal functions FT_Trace_Disable' and FT_Trace_Enable'.

It sometimes makes sense to suppress tracing informations, for
example, if it outputs identical messages again and again.

* include/freetype/internal/ftdebug.h: Make `ft_trace_levels' a
pointer.
(FT_Trace_Disable, FT_Trace_Enable): New declarations.

* src/base/ftdebug.c (ft_trace_levels): Rename to...
(ft_trace_levels_enabled): ... this.
(ft_trace_levels_disabled): New array.
(ft_trace_levels): New pointer.
(FT_Trace_Disable, FT_Trace_Enable): Implement.
(ft_debug_init): Updated.
