GdkWin32: don't force native font settings when using fontconfig renderer

gwillems requested to merge g.willems/gtk:gdkwin32_dont_force_native_font_settings_for_fontconfig into main

Currently win32 font settings are tailored for the native DWrite/ClearType renderer.

It doesn't make sense to enforce them when using other renderers like fontconfig. Instead, let settings be customizable via Gtk's 'settings.ini'.

Note: This change doesn't affect default setups, only users opting for a different renderer (e.g. by setting PANGOCAIRO_BACKEND=fc environment variable) will unlock the possibility to use custom font settings.

For reference, some exchanges on discourse.
