Revert "Fontconfig font database: Short-circuit matching by filename"

This reverts commit eea99e1e8f3eb67fda35dd3a656fe9b5a9be84f2.

The call to FcFreeTypeQuery() takes over 300 ms for
NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc and friends, so in the current state,
this change cannot be used. I am not sure why these file
in particular takes so long, but it might be because it is
large (around 19MB) or because it is a font collection.

The original fix was intended to be a smaller performance
optimization, but it has added over 2 seconds startup time to
simple applications showing Chinese text, so we revert it
for now and it can be resubmitted later when the problems
have been ironed out.
