Add fontconfig to debian apt deps, make fc-cache non-fatal

Browse source 
Discovered on crouton bootstrap: a fresh debian install may not
have fontconfig installed, so fc-cache is missing. The script's
font install step crashed at fc-cache, aborting the rest of the
bootstrap (cargo install bat never ran).

Fixes:
1. Add fontconfig to APT_PKGS so fc-cache and fc-list are present
   on debian from the start (matches what's typically pre-installed
   on most desktop distros but not on minimal server installs)
2. Wrap fc-cache in 'command -v' guard so if the package somehow
   isn't installed, the script logs a warning and continues instead
   of aborting the whole chain
