bug#18876: 24.4; ns-antialias-text broken in 24.4

In previous emacs versions evaluating the following line would disable
antialiased fonts:

(setq ns-antialias-text nil)

That was broken in 24.4.  I'm attaching a patch that both fixes the
behavior and disables "synthetic bold", which looks pretty terrible with
antialiasing disabled.

I reported this on the emacs-devel list, but didn't receive any replies:
