[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/fontconfig: break circular dependency

Build fails because of the following circular dependency:

fontconfig -> util-linux -> udev -> systemd -> polkit ->
gobject-introspection -> cairo -> fontconfig

which results in the following build failure:

checking for UUID... no
checking where uuid functions comes from... configure: error:
*** uuid is required. install util-linux.

To break it, apply the same ugly workaround that was applied for
libglib2 and cryptsetup until a better solution is found:
