Bugfixes

• Improved image scaling when a larger image is being shrunk down to a smaller size via drawImage()
• modified imageSmoothingQuality settings to provide a more meaningful range across low, medium, and high
• measureText() now returns correct metrics regardless of current textAlign setting
• Rolled back icudtl.dat changes on Windows (which suppressed the misleading warning message but required running as Administrator)
