📄 Description

Now that libSceFont LLE works, mounting these will help some titles progress further. This fixes anywhereVR.

I will add a proper font dumping guide to the shadPS4 wiki when I have a chance after this is merged.
To dump firmware fonts:

Load up your PS4 with some jailbreak
On your computer, open your preferred ftp client and connect to the PS4, following the process as dumping firmware libraries.
Navigate to /preinst/common/, copy the font folder in there into your shadPS4's fonts directory (by default, {user folder}/fonts).
Navigate to /system/common/, copy the font2 folder in there into your shadPS4's fonts directory (by default, {user folder}/fonts).
Once you've completed these dumps, your shadPS4's fonts directory should have a font and font2 directory inside it.

This PR has some overlap with the fonts mounting done in #3772, but since libSceFont LLE now works, I think this change should be prioritized until that PR is ready to go.
