fontconfig-2.16.2 and update currency

[zeckma]

New point version.

1. Currency has to be updated as newer releases aren't being made anymore in ​https://www.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/release/, and are instead made in ​https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/tags.
2. Because of 1. we need to change the download link to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/archive/&fontconfig-version;/fontconfig-&fontconfig-version;.tar.gz
3. New changelogs can be found at ​https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/blob/main/NEWS.

Currency has been updated.

The tarball lacks the configure script. We may run autogen.sh instead but to me it's easier to just use meson...

I agree here. The instructions may be more simple as a result, too, which is a net positive for me.

meson now installs the static library w/o a way to disable (incorrectly, IMO): ​https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/merge_requests/373/diffs.

Looks we can also use https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/api/v4/projects/890/packages/generic/fontconfig/&fontconfig-version;/fontconfig-&fontconfig-version;.tar.xz (long link name). It packages generated autotools files like configure. But either way, I think using meson might be the better move, then remove the static library after installation. But we can just keep the original instructions and just change the download link if we really wanted to. Again, it's a long link so I'm on the side of just using the gz compressed tarball instead and using meson.

Sorry, not this one.

We can rm -v /usr/lib/libfontconfig.a anyway.

And the magic number "890" seems stupid.
