pulseview needs to render some text, so it needs "some font".

It also needs Qt5 to be able to locate and load fonts. This can be
achieved at runtime, by setting the QT_QPA_FONTDIR environment variable
to point to the directory containing fonts, but this is not very
practical.

Instead, it can also be achieved by adding fontconfig support to Qt5,
which is in charge of actually looking up and loading fonts all by
itself. This is the way we decided to go for, as it makes things "just
work" without any trick.
