feat(setup): auto-install color-emoji font on Linux

macOS and Windows ship a color-emoji font; most Linux distros/containers
ship none, so make-pdf emits tofu there. ensure_emoji_font() best-effort
installs fonts-noto-color-emoji (apt, with dnf/pacman/apk fallbacks) and
refreshes the fontconfig cache. Hardened: Linux-only guard, GSTACK_SKIP_FONTS
escape hatch, fc-match color=True detection (the broad fc-list query
false-matched LastResort), sudo -n so a password prompt fails fast instead
of hanging, DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive, timeout 30 on apt update, and
fc-cache under sudo. Warns instead of failing. After a fresh install,
refresh_browse_daemon_for_fonts() runs 'browse stop' so the next render
spawns a Chromium that sees the new font (font fallback is process-cached).

# Ensure a color-emoji font is installed (Linux only).
#
# Chromium renders emoji code points as .notdef "tofu" (▯) when no color-emoji
# font is installed. macOS ships "Apple Color Emoji" and Windows ships "Segoe UI
# Emoji", so they're fine out of the box. Most Linux distros and containers ship
# NO color-emoji font, which is why make-pdf output shows tofu in headers/tables
# that contain emoji. Install Noto Color Emoji to fix it.
#
# Best-effort: warn (don't fail) if we can't install — PDFs still generate, they
# just fall back to tofu for emoji as before. Skip entirely with
# GSTACK_SKIP_FONTS=1 (CI without sudo, managed machines, offline envs).
