Félix Malfait 3aeb2b0d5d Self-host Inter and DM Mono fonts (#22506)
Replaces the two Google Fonts stylesheets with self-hosted fonts via
`@fontsource`, imported in the app entry (and Storybook preview), and
removes the duplicate Inter that BlockNote was shipping.

## Why

- **The caching argument for Google Fonts is dead.** Browsers partition
the HTTP cache by top-level site (Chrome 86+, Firefox 85+, Safari even
earlier), so a font cached from another website is never reused on ours.
Every first-time visitor downloads the fonts either way — Google just
adds a detour.
- **Faster first paint.** This removes two render-blocking cross-origin
stylesheets from `index.html` (DNS + TLS to `fonts.googleapis.com`, then
a second connection to `fonts.gstatic.com`, with no preconnect today).
The fonts now ship from our own `/assets` alongside the rest of the app,
behind the same CDN and cache policy.
- **Privacy.** Visitor IPs are no longer sent to Google on every page
load. A German court ruled in 2022 that Google Fonts embedding violates
GDPR, and privacy-conscious self-hosters currently have no way to opt
out of the dependency.
- **Air-gapped / offline self-hosted instances** currently render
fallback system fonts; they now get the real ones.

## Font unification

We were actually loading Inter from two places: the Google stylesheet,
plus `@blocknote/core/fonts/inter.css` (8 weights, latin-only,
woff+woff2) imported by the two rich-text editors — whichever loaded
last won the cascade. Both are gone; `@fontsource` is now the single
source:

- Inter 400/500/600 (theme weights) + 700 (rich-text bold, previously
only covered by the BlockNote copy)
- DM Mono 400/500 (DM Mono has no 600 upstream; the old Google link
requested one anyway)

Fontsource ships the same `unicode-range` subsets as the Google CSS, so
browsers still only download the subset they need (~60KB of woff2 for
latin), and non-latin locales keep full coverage — which the latin-only
BlockNote copy didn't provide.

## Notes

- The BlockNote PDF export (`exportBlockNoteEditorToPdf.ts`) still
fetches Inter TTFs from `fonts.gstatic.com` at export time — react-pdf
needs TTF files, left unchanged here.
