Update Inter font and set `display: swap` (#2000)
The version of Inter is updated to use a variable font, which is supported widely among modern browsers.

Using `display: swap` means that the browser will render the text of the spec even before Inter is loaded, making the website appear to load faster on mobile.

Allow the browser to use the local Inter font if it exists.

Andrew Morgan 888658dbff Write font files as binary instead of text (#3039)
This caused the font files to be corrupt and rejected by the browser's
sanitising engine.

Andrew Morgan e77c2e3e10 Opt for serving new spec JS/CSS dependencies locally instead of downloading from CDNs (#3036)
This PR does two things:

* Updates the git submodule for the new spec hugo theme ([google/docsy](https://github.com/google/docsy)) to our fork ([matrix-org/docsy](https://github.com/matrix-org/docsy)) which has a couple changes to load JS from local sources instead of remote, as well as allowing sites to override the URL that font CSS files are loaded from. Note that my definition of "font CSS" files here as CSS files that contain settings and point to locations of where font files (`.woff2`) are located.
* Adds a script (and the files generated as a result of running that script) that can take a google fonts URL, download the fonts it points to and spit out those fonts as well as a font CSS file pointing to them for local distribution. We then use the resulting font CSS file in our project variables.

This brings the benefit of not serving files from a CDN which can track users across the web, as well as inadvertently pinning docsy to a specific commit. The downside is that we need to remember to update [matrix-org/docsy](https://github.com/matrix-org/docsy) when needed (and apply the patches on top, though they're quite small).
