#741: font menu filters to variable fonts

Browse Source 
Problem: After Effects 26.3's font menu can show only variable fonts.
EffectCraft's font menus (Character panel, Properties ▸ Text) had no such
filter, and text.fonts / MCP list_fonts didn't say which families are
variable.

Fix: the font scan marks a face variable when its table directory has an
fvar table declaring axes (header read only, no extra file loading). The
font menu gets a "Variable fonts only" checkbox above the results; it
combines with the typed search, keeps the keyboard in the search field and
stays set while the app runs. text.fonts reports `variable` per family and
takes `{variable: true}`; list_fonts passes it through. Catalog rows for
ja, zh-Hans, zh-Hant and uk.

Fonts: `text.fonts` (MCP `list_fonts`) lists every family a text layer can use, bundled and installed, with its
styles, origin (`bundled`, `system`, `user`) and own-language name (`{"query":"gothic"}` filters
by name; `{"rescan":true}` first picks up fonts installed since launch). Pass a listed `family` and

(`{"query":"gothic"}` filters by name, `{"variable":true}` keeps only variable fonts, like the font
menu's Variable Fonts filter; `{"rescan":true}` first picks up fonts installed since launch). Pass a listed `family` and
one of its `styles` to `layer.setText {"font", "style"}`; `text.fontFeatures` says which OpenType
options a font draws with its own glyphs.
