Previously we would resolve font features
(https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#feature-variation-precedence)
per element, while this works for the current subset of the font feature
resolution algorithm that we support, some as yet unimplemented parts
require us to know whether we are resolving against a CSS @font-face
rule, and if so which one (e.g. applying descriptors from the @font-face
rule, deciding which @font-feature-values rules to apply, etc).
To achieve this we store the data required to resolve font features in a
struct and pass that to `FontComputer` which resolves the font features
and stores them with the computed `Font`.
We no longer need to invalidate the font shaping cache when features
change since the features are defined per font (and therefore won't ever
change).
While our default font supporting variations is unlikely, this is
nevertheless required for our fallback font to be considered equal to
it's non-default/fallback equivalent (i.e. `font-family: serif`) which
in turn is required for LineBuilder to merge chunks into a single
fragment.

This reverts commit 9e7b40747f. This
caused most bold headings to display as regular headings, since Arial
Unicode MS does not support other styles (as opposed to Arial).
We need a better font selection algorithm to properly support selecting
fonts for specific glyphs. Issue #2332 exists to keep track of
supporting less frequently used glyphs.
this commit also introduces GlobalFontConfig class that is now
responsible for fontconfig initialization. it seems sane, even thought
FcInit's docs state that if the default configuration has already been
loaded, this routine does nothing.
the goal is to rely on fontconfig for font directory resolution. it
doesn't seem like it would be appropritate to call to fontconfig funcs
from within the LibCore.
i'm not 100% confident that FontDatabase is the correct place.. seems
okay?
