I mainly wanted to get rid of the fontconfig dependency on Windows platform. There's no real need for it, especially since we have a DirectWrite font locator implementation. I'd rather focus on improving that one (if needed) than supporting two different one on a single platform.

This is mainly to lower the dependency count on at least Windows
operating system. Also, there's no need to be that explicit.

We still need a way to explicitly set the font locator to `mock` (xor
`native`) - but that's it.
