Juergen Spitzmueller 26ea1e1496 Align fontenc with document fonts
Following a request by Günter, we consider the document fonts (only rm
for now) when selecting an appropriate font encoding.

See #9741

The new default font encoding setting "auto" does

* consider the font encoding needed by the language(s), which can now
  have fallback alternatives
* Consider which font encoding is provided by the document font

Thus, cm now will result in OT1 fontenc, if the language can deal with
that.

The font_enc pref is ditched: it is no longer needed.

The automatism is still very basic and is subject to extension.

File format and prefs format change.

* Please additionally see the release notes from the versions in-between:
https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes
* Several ttf fonts (esint10.ttf, stmary10.ttf, wasy10.ttf) were changed
to reflect the fact that newer Qt libraries do not support displaying certain
codepoints anymore (bug #8493, #10161).
Distribution packagers need to repack those font files in case they are
delivering the fonts as a separated package dependent from core LyX.
