Bug 1690235. Fix creating variation CTFonts. r=lsalzman, a=pascalc

This is an alternate approach to aadbc6deca05.

CTFontCreateWithGraphicsFont seems to give "LastResort" when used on a
system CGFont with variation applied on 10.12-10.14. We can avoid that
by using CTFontCreateWithGraphicsFont with a variation descriptor.

I'm only applying this approach to cairo for now to mimimize the risk
of this breaking something or causing the crashes that we were seeing
before.

See servo/core-foundation-rs#439 for
a standalone test case.
