Replace deprecated Oxygen-Sans font with Noto Sans

Dmytro Zaporozhets (DZ) requested to merge dz-patch-58 into master

What does this MR do?

KDE changed default font from Oxygen to 'Noto Sans' quite a while ago (2015, I guess). So "Oxygen" is kind of abandoned/deprecated font in 2019. However GitLab still forces it. Which makes GitLab far less readable compare to other websites. So I placed "Noto Sans" instead of "Oxygen".
