Add no-op fontconfig files for Microsoft fonts.

With these fontconfig files it becomes possible for other packages to
configure font aliases for the Microsoft fonts. If both, for example,
vista-fonts and some package providing an alias for Cambria are
installed then the user may control whether or not the alias is active
by manipulating the package priorities.
