* fc-cache/fc-cache.c:
* src/fccache.c (FcGlobalCacheDirDestroy, FcGlobalCacheSave,
FcCacheSkipToArch):
* src/fcfs.c (FcFontSetSerialize):
Only load requested fonts for fc-cache, and cleanup memory
handling: *Serialize no longer mutates original FcPatterns,
it creates a new copy in the supplied buffer. Fix thinkos
in global cache freeing and in FcCacheSkipToArch.
