[Bug 1068549] [NEW] better ~/.fonts.conf deprecation warning

[Julian Taylor]

Public bug reported:

if you have ~/fonts.conf and start an application using it you get
following warning:

"Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading
configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated."

it is not clear from that what it wants you to do. You have to read
50-user.conf and understand it.

The error message should tell you directly to move the configuration to the xdg folders.
attached a patch to do so.

** Affects: fontconfig (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
