d2923d51f6 GL backend: add basic font fallback support for Linux
Use the static (but long) fallback list that we get from fontconfig in the beginning.

This works, but can be optimized to operate on a trimmed and shorter list,
which will speed up the fallback. But for now this makes it work.

6130e04e84 Rework the font loading in the GL backend
The basic idea is to use fontdb's load_system_fonts() mechanism, in
conjunction with its built-in mmap support, to get an overview over all
installed fonts on macOS, Windows and Linux.

This isn't quite perfect in terms of discovering systems defaults, but
it's much faster than font-kit's approach of querying the system (good)
but reading the matched files into memory (not using mmap). And we have
the option of perfecting it by using fontconfig directly on Linux (where
the backend is most important).

This also paves the way for better fallback handling, as now we have a
list of all available families and we can use system APIs to query for
fallbacks.
