[Fontconfig] Announcing fontconfig 2.5 RC1 (2.4.91)

With most of the marked blocking bugs closed, I decided to put together
the first release candidate for version 2.5 of fontconfig. Yes, it's
very compatible with version 2.4.2, but I wanted to get back to using
two digits for the version number and saving one for security releases
and RC numbering. Just as with X.org, versions ending in .9x are release
candidates.
