Sefa Eyeoglu bd97ff5ff4 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:
2b6afa02ab

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: 030759b74f
Let’s reflect this default setting in the NixOS module.
