System fonts without fontconfig

I've uploaded a new version of my win32 VLC test build. This new download includes an experimental Windows GDI font collector (patch), so system fonts can be used now! The interface for that (FontProvider) is now publicly exposed in the libass library as well.

Not actually that horrible.

GDI is a bad API for what I need to do, so there are some limitations. I can't get all "full names" for a font, only the localized or often English name. More importantly, fonts are accessed with the GetFontData call that buffers them into memory. This can be quite slow, especially for big CJK fonts or Unicode fonts like "Arial Unicode MS".

Still, for most purposes, this should work fine.
