system/gnu-unifont: Update for version 14.0.02

tomac requested to merge (removed):gnu-unifont into master

This PR includes the following changes:

  1. Update to the latest upstream version (14.0.02).
  2. While testing the script I noticed that the fonttosfnt tool, which the script uses to convert the fonts to OTB format, prints a warning when attempting to convert PCF font files and suggests providing files in BDF format as input. Some of the bitmap fonts are provided by the upstream in two formats - BDF and PCF; for these fonts, the script converts the BDF files to OTB format. In case if a font is available in PCF format only, the script will still convert it to OTB format.
  3. Previously, OTB format was disabled by default. Since Pango >= 1.44 does not support PCF and BDF font files, I think it makes sense to enable this format by default now.

Notes from checks I did on the packages provided by the upstream (TLDR: no issues found).
