Make slight/rgb the default option

Medium hinting and None subpixel rendering was default options added
when we used Oxygen fonts, however freetype recommends slight hinting as
seen in this blog post from 2015 [1].

Also RGB hinting is most-recommended over the None. See linked bug
report as well.

Set defaults for anti-aliasing using the krdb

We used to write a configuration for the anti-aliasing using the
startkde script, startkde script would write to kdeglobals and then read
this configuration in the krdb.

This had un-intended side-effect of $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/kdeglobals settings
or settings set by ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf not being used.

D21335 fixes this by not writing to kdeglobals anymore, this transfers
the defaults used by startkde here.
