Source fonts

The file fonts.json is used by the github CI to patch all fonts and create all the release zip archives. The 'font matrix' is derived from it.

get-font-names-from-json.sh is a small helper to set the matrix up.

The fonts.json is the source of a lot details used on the https://www.nerdfonts.com site and for some scripts. It needs to be filled manually for each added font.
