I think you're right. When prividing a stream in the FT_Open_Args struct
for FT_Open_Face, a new stream is allocated, and the contents from the
supplied one is copied. So it seems FT_Done_Face should alsways free the
stream (it's always allocated by FT after all), but only call the close
function when it's not marked as "external".
