Reuses the existing macOS path-scanning logic for iOS, since /System/Library/Fonts is accessible from sandboxed iOS apps via the application container's symlink to /System/Library (permitted by App Store review guideline 2.5.2). Changes: - load_system_fonts: extend the macOS cfg block to also fire on iOS - family_fantasy: default to "Papyrus" on iOS as well (matches macOS) - Linux cfg blocks: exclude iOS so the iOS path doesn't fall through Closes RazrFalcon#77.

Summary
Closes #77 — adds iOS support to
Database::load_system_fontsby reusing the existing macOS path-scanning logic.Why this approach
As discussed in #77 by @Kees-van-Beilen, iOS apps can access
/System/Library/Fonts/from a sandboxed app via the application container's symlink to/System/Library. This is explicitly permitted by App Store review guideline 2.5.2 and is the same approach used by many shipping iOS apps. No CoreText FFI dependency is required, and the change keeps fontdb's portable, dependency-free architecture intact.Changes
load_system_fonts: extend the macOScfgblock to fire on iOS too.family_fantasy: default to"Papyrus"on iOS as well (matches macOS, as the same system fonts are present).cfgblocks: excludetarget_os = "ios"so iOS doesn't accidentally fall through to the Linux/fontconfig branch.Verification
