Release Notes:

- N/A

---

- Set `.SystemUIFont` as the GPUI default font.
- Add `Arial` to font fallback list.
- Add `Adwaita Sans` to default fallback list for Gnome.
- Move `Ubuntu` font to front of Gnome to make sure Ubuntu System takes
priority over `Ubuntu` font.

Our application get some crash report:
