gnu: Add font-cormorant.

Cormorant is a family of free fonts in the Garamond tradition.
The fonts are widely used, including in professionally-published
books, e.g. the German paperback edition of the works of Kazuo Ishiguro from
Heyne Verlag: https://fontsinuse.com/uses/19694/kazuo-ishiguro-heyne-verlag

(synopsis
"Extravagant display serif typeface in the spirit of Garamond")
(description
"Cormorant is an extravagant display serif typeface inspired by
the Garamond heritage. The design goal of Cormorant was to distill
the aesthetic essence of Garamond, unfetter it from the limitations of
metal printing, and allow it to bloom into its natural refined form at
high definition. Cormorant is characterized by scandalously small
counters, razor-sharp serifs, dangerously smooth curves, and
flamboyantly tall accents. While many implementations of Garamond at
small optical sizes already exist, Cormorant aims for the sparsely
populated niche of display-size counterparts that exploit the high
resolution of contemporary screens and print media to the fullest.")
