... Another small update? Yay?! Fonts v5.4.N!

It's mostly a bit of cleanup after the fixes of v5.3.N...

* Removed the browser workaround, turns out it's unnecessary now that we're doing stuff properly

.
* Added the bci_new FT override (bci built without FT_CONFIG_OPTION_OLD_INTERNALS). It might be more performant, but it might also be less compatible, especially on older devices/fw.
* Use the proper fontconfig config file in older K3 FW (<= 3.3).

That means that, if asked, the browser will now correctly use an FT override, like the rest of the system, thus saving a few hundred KB of RAM

.

(And removing a somewhat nasty, most definitely hackish, piece of code that I'm surprised turned out to be so robust xD).

I also had to compress the packages in RAR, instead of ZIP, to get them under MR's 20MB attachment limit.
