Title: fixes #2097, pgf: get scalable system-fonts from fontconfig, rely on builtin fonts for tests

Within the pgf backend, find scalable system-fonts by calling `fc-list` from fontconfig instead of using `matplotlib.font_manager`.
When performing tests, rely on the default built-in fonts instead of `Bitstream Vera Sans`.
