[Bug 1192175] [NEW] Use of mode="assign" in default configuration

[BubuXP]

Public bug reported:

The additional .conf files that Ubuntu's patches create in conf.avail/ use mode="assign" to set preferences.
But in this upstream bug report:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17722
it's said that the default configurations should use mode="append", and the use of "assign" should be limited to user configuration. The original fontconfig .conf files in Ubuntu already use "append", as correction of this bug.
