Follow the system UI font face

Detect the desktop's configured interface font and use its family for all
application UI text, instead of iced's generic sans-serif.

- sys::ui_font reads the setting per platform: GNOME/Cinnamon/MATE
  gsettings, KDE kdeglobals, Xfce xfconf, the XDG Settings portal, GTK
  settings.ini and a Fontconfig fallback on Linux; the non-client message
  font (SystemParametersInfoForDpi at 96 DPI) on Windows; the AppKit system
  font on macOS.
- ui_font::apply remaps generic sans-serif in iced's shared font database
  to that family. iced's Font::DEFAULT is sans-serif, so every widget,
  canvas text, bold/italic variant and ribbon measurement follows it with
  no call-site changes. A family that is not installed (or a generic alias)
  keeps iced's own choice. The font's weight and style are ignored.
- Live updates: portal SettingChanged on Linux, a 2 s poll on Windows. A
  change bumps the font-system version so laid-out text reshapes, and
  iced::font::set_defaults relays out every window; ribbon large-button
  widths re-measure. Without a portal, Linux needs a restart; macOS has no
  user-adjustable UI font.
- Monospaced text, drawing text (own cosmic-text font systems) and the web
  build's font loading are unchanged.
