Fontconfig symbols were hardcoded to be either hidden or exported. This patch
adds configurable symbol visibility. This is useful for projects that want to
do in-tree fontconfig builds and not export any symbols, otherwise they would
conflict with the system library's symbols
Chromium is a project that does in-tree fontconfig builds, and the workaround
currently used is "#define visibility(x) // nothing" [1] and building with
"-fvisibility=hidden".

This is the last piece of the puzzle for variable-font support in
fontconfig. This takes care of automatically setting the variation
settings when user requests a weight / width / size that has variation
in the matched font.
When a cache contains no fonts, it will be unloaded immediately.
Previously the certain alias and UUID entries will be purged at that time though,
this doesn't work when the targeted directory has sub-directories.
To avoid the unnecessary cache creation with the md5-based naming, try to keep them
as far as possible.
Although this way seems not perfectly working if the first directory to look up is like that
Reject caches when FcPattern isn't a constant.
This is usually unlikely to happen but reported.
I've decided to add more validation since this isn't reproducible
and easy to have a workaround rather than investigating 'why'.

Trying to address what these configuration files really do.
This change allows to see the short description that mention
the purpose of the content in the config file and obtain
them through API.
This change also encourage one who want to make some UI for
the user-specific configuration management. it is the main
purpose of this change for me though.
Aside from that, I've also made programs translatable. so
we see more dependencies on the build time for gettext,
and itstool to generate PO from xml.
VotoSerifGX has over 500 named instances, which means it also has over a thousand
name table entries. So we were looking for names for over 500 pattern, looking for
some thirty different name-ids, and using linear search across the 1000 entries!
Makes scanning VotoSerifGX three times faster. The rest is probably the lang
matching, which can also be shared across named-instances. Upcoming.
