system: Make sure fonts are searched for in the system profile.
This fixes a bug whereby fonts in /run/current-system/profile would be invisible to Fontconfig. * gnu/packages/fontutils.scm (fontconfig): Add comment about system profile not being searched. * gnu/system/shadow.scm (default-skeletons)[fonts.conf-content, fonts.conf]: New variable. Add FONTS.CONF to the skeletons.
