VLC, VLC-devel: fails to build with freetype 2.5.1

[ctreleaven (Craig Treleaven)]

Freetype changed the layout of its include files and VLC is using an obsolete #include:

:info:build freetype.c:93:10: fatal error: 'freetype/ftsynth.h' file not found
:info:build #include <freetype/ftsynth.h>
:info:build          ^

Note, it is not possible to set the owner field when creating a ticket (at least for my ID). Thus I've put Jeremy on the CC list.

Seems to have been reported and a fix committed upstream:

Pretty trivial:
