Two small inefficiencies in getting font strikes for transformed fonts.

      Whilst tracking down an un-related bug, two possible
      improvements in strike creation were noticed.

      (1) Font.getItalicAngle() internally passed its
      font transform to the code that looks up the strike,
      but this was interpreted by the called code as the
      device transform - which the font does not have
      access to.

      So the strike creation code used the font transform
      as both the font transform and the device transform,
      and so when a font transform is present it would
      likely lead to an additional strike being created.

      This doesn't cause an API-observable problem, because
      the code that returns the italic angle uses user
      space values, with the device transform removed.

      (2) The second inefficiency is that translation components,
      which do not affect the actual glyphs or their metrics,
      are being used in the case where there is a font transform.
      To increase the likelihood of matches, we should remove
      the translation from the strike look up.
