WuTofu a0037ced2b feat: add font family deletion functionality (#1919)
## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?**

1. Adds font family deletion support to the font download activity so
users can remove installed font families directly from the download
list.
2. Address an issue where a font family manually deleted in the file
browser by user will show as "update" in the `FontDownloadActivity`
 

* **What changes are included?**
* Updated button hint label to show `Delete` when deletion is available.
  * Added confirmation before deleting a selected installed font family.
* Refreshed font registry in `fetchAndParseManifest` (for the second
goal above)
