Manu VarkeyandClaude Opus 5.5 62175f4ed5 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.
