fontconfig: Only read versioned config dirs

Falling back to unversioned `/etc/fonts/conf.d` when versioned one does not exist
is problematic since it only occurs on non-NixOS systems and those are likely
to have a different version of fontconfig. When those versions use incompatible
elements in the config, apps using fontconfig will crash.

Instead, we are now falling back to the in-package `fonts.conf` file that loads
both the versioned global `conf.d` directory and the in-package `conf.d` since using
upstream settings on non-NixOS is preferable to not being able to use apps there.

In fact, we would not even need to link `fonts.conf`, as the in-package `fonts.conf`
will be always used unless someone creates the global one manually (the option is still
retained if one wants to write a custom NixOS module and to avoid unnecessary stat call on NixOS).

Additionally, since the `fonts.conf` will always load `conf.d` from the package, we no longer
need to install them to sytem `/etc` in the module. This needed some mucking with `50-user.conf`
which disables configs in user directories (a good thing IMO, NixOS module will turn it back on)
but otherwise, it is cleaner. The files are still prioritized by their name, regardless of their location.

See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/73795#issuecomment-634370125 for more information.

Subject: [PATCH] add check for /etc/fonts/@configVersion@/fonts.conf
add check for /etc/fonts/@configVersion@/fonts.conf
It's checked between FONTCONFIG_FILE and the usual /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.
Also, hardcode /etc/fonts/fonts.conf to prevent accidental override.
It's checked between FONTCONFIG_FILE and the in-package etc/fonts/fonts.conf.
The latter is used so that on non-NixOS distributions, fontconfig works at least
with upstream defaults, even when the global config is incompatible.

/** Font configuration scheme
- ./config-compat.patch makes fontconfig try the following root configs, in order:

This is done not to override config of pre-2.11 versions (which just blow up)
and still use *global* font configuration at both NixOS or non-NixOS.
