nixos/fontconfig: Change default antialiasing style to greyscale instead of subpixel
fontconfig before version 2.13.1 was apparently implicitly not using
subpixel antialiasing. The fontconfig NixOS module deviated from this,
using subpixel antialiasing with `rgb` layout by default. In fontconfig
2.14.1, subpixel antialiasing was inadvertently enabled as the default:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/commit/2b6afa02ab2b7dd3796a48cf47896c4c6de4d6ba
According to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/issues/337,
that deviates from GNOME/GTK’s defaults, which resulted in apps taking the
settings directly from fontconfig (e.g. Firefox) from diverging from GNOME
programs.
The change was subsequently reverted in 2.14.2, choosing the greyscale
antialiasing explicitly: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/commit/030759b74f5b3ce7fab6d17bbda6377444e82841
Let’s reflect this default setting in the NixOS module.
