 move `--enable-bundled-fonts` into the respective `.mozconfig` files. It
 is a normal config option which landed on mozilla trunk a while ago. Apart
 from that the tor-browser-bundle changes are good.

 As I mentioned on IRC, the reason I put --enable-bundled-fonts in tor-
 browser-bundle.git instead of mozconfigs is that the fonts aren't
 available to tor-browser.git. If someone is just building tor-browser.git,
 I don't want to make them have to download the Noto fonts and put them in
 the right directoy just to be able to read text.

 Alternative approaches could be:
 1. Find a preprocessor flag that is only active when we build tor-browser-
 bundle.git, and use that to disable the whitelisting pref for tor-
 browser.git alone.
 2. Add the Noto fonts directly to the tor-browser.git repo, and add
 something in the Mozilla build scripts to install them in the directory
 where fonts are bundled. That would avoid modifying tor-browser-bundle.git
 altogether.

 Opinions welcome!
