feat: give the clock its own font
Installs Oswald (OFL-1.1, from googlefonts/OswaldFont) under
~/.fonts/o/Oswald with its license, and points the clock numerals at it
for the squared look the rounded Noto Sans Black did not have.
Per-widget fonts needed no new machinery: card.font() already takes any
family string, so FONT_* are shared defaults rather than a restriction.
FONT_CLOCK joins them, and the weather card keeps FONT_HEAVY, so the two
no longer have to agree.
Cairo still cannot ask for a weight above bold, so a heavier cut is
selected by family name as FONT_HEAVY already did. Worth knowing that
fontconfig substitutes a default for a family it does not recognise,
which is indistinguishable from the font not applying; fc-match tells
you which happened.
