[Fontconfig] Did You Know That FT_Done_Face Can Return An Error?

[Akira TAGOH]

All of the usage of freetype functions in fontconfig is completed in a
function and no exports. at that limited situation, the possibility of
failing finalizer is quite unlikely. even if it does, it might be
already failed on others or most of tasks to return a result is
already done. checking a return value of those functions doesn't make
sense IMHO.
That said this is the case-by-case. it wouldn't be a reason to ignore
for others.
