This patch uses a graft to apply the upstream fix to fontconfig for
CVE-2016-5384. I learned about the bug from a Debian security advisory:

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2016-5384
https://www.debian.org/security/2016/dsa-3644

Another potential option is to try grafting the latest version of
fontconfig, 2.12.1.

One way or another, ~2000 packages are depend on fontconfig.

Thoughts?
