Do it the way various font managers do it and choose a bunch of fonts to install temporarily or something?

This should already work on Unix and OS X by placing fonts in the ~/.aegisub-?-?/libass_fonts dir on Unix and ~/Library/Application Support/Aegisub-?.? dir on OS X.

Bump 2.3.0 tickets to milestone:3.1.0 (2.2.0 is becoming 3.0.0)

This should be pretty simple; just scan the selected dir for fonts and load them for our process. The question is, what about reloading if the contents of the custom font folder changes? I'm not sure how well that can be handled.
