cfea2ea12c build: mark most dependencies as lazy
Lazy dependencies are only fetched if the build script would actually
reach a usage of that dependency at runtime (when the `lazyDependency`
function is called). This can save a lot of network traffic, disk uage,
and time because we don't have to fetch and build dependencies that we
don't actually need.

Prior to this commit, Ghostty fetched almost everything for all
platforms and configurations all the time. This commit reverses that to
fetching almost nothing until it's actually needed.

There are very little downsides to doing this[1]. One downside is `zig
build --fetch` doesn't fetch lazy dependencies, but we don't rely on
this command for packaging and suggest using our custom shell script
that downloads a cached list of URLs (`build.zig.zon.txt`).

This commit doesn't cover 100% of dependencies, since some provide no
benefit to make lazy while the complexity to make them lazy is higher
(in code style typically).

Conversely, some simple dependencies are marked lazy even if they're
almost always needed if they don't introduce any real complexity to the
code, because there is very little downside to do so.

3fc5b02d73 pkg/fontconfig: move some dependencies to our own mirror
These are unmodified, so users can still verify the checksum with the
official downloads if they feel unsafe.
