These patches update 'font-fira-sans', adjust the definition of
'font-fira-mono' to inherit from 'font-fira-sans', and update
'font-fira-code'.

The final patch adds a note to 'font-fira-go' to explain that it does not have
corresponding source code: that patch is last, in case the FSDG require that
'font-fira-go' be removed, instead.

 -Philip

Philip McGrath (4):
  gnu: font-fira-sans: Update to 4.203.
  gnu: font-fira-mono: Inherit from font-fira-sans.
  gnu: font-fira-code: Update to 6.2.
  gnu: font-fira-go: Note lack of corresponding source.

Nice.

I believe that is fine (there are other font packages that lack
“source”).
