Split sources into a separate crate.

Many users just want a crate for discovering fonts on the system, not rendering or any of the other stuff font-kit provides. It would be great to use font-kit, but there are concerns about it being very heavyweight as a dependency.
Would you consider splitting off the font discovery / sources, into a separate crate? It is very useful functionality on its own.
It seems like the font discovery crate could be made significantly more lightweight compared to font-kit proper.
There is some interest in using it in Bevy, see this issue.
That sounds like it could be sensible. I would be willing to review a PR that did that.
