One part (of 8!) of css font family disambiguation is that font families should
be matched case-insensitively.
This patch implements that. Once it lands, a bug needs to be filed to do lowercasing
properly (as a string, instead of char-by-char -- it's a unicode thing).

During debugging, I found it useful to hook all task creation in a
central location, and util::task was the perfect place for it.

reviews today because I don't know who better to give them to)
Previously, any font template that could not be found would return
an item from the last resort font family. Now, the last resort font
family is only searched if the entire list of supplied font families
is empty.
The freetype hinting only works on integer pixel sizes. For this
reason, the advance width metrics for a font of size 12.99 are
the same as the advance metrics for a font of size 12.0. This
results in small fonts appearing to overlap slightly, which is
particularly noticeable on parts of Wikipedia. Round the font
size up to a pixel boundary inside the freetype system.
Also fetch the system default fonts for the generic font families
rather than hard coding them.
These two changes make the font rendering on Linux very close
to the Firefox font rendering on Wikipedia.
