[Fontconfig] No FC_FONT_FEATURES?

[Akira TAGOH]

Indeed it isn't. that property is supposed to work as an option to let
an application know what feature tags users want to enable. it isn't
like FC_CAPABILITY.  At the moment, one needs extra API calls to see
what the sort of features fonts support.

Do we want to cache them? even though it is related to the rendering
options much more. dunno how that helps to choose a font or even if it
does, how does it help to make things easier than calling the existing
API to get them.
