[OpenFontLibrary] Adobe's Source Sans Pro

[Denis Jacquerye]

OpenType allows weight values from 1 to 999.
CSS is the one rounding those to multiples of 100 from 100 to 900.
Fontconfig maps them to some range from 0 to 210 (I'm not sure there).
Fontconfig also has multiple aliases for its weight value 40:
extralight or ultralight, and its weight value 210: black or heavy. So
applications just using those values to name variants might not match
the OT names.
