 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="55314"
 Themes: Remove local() from @font-face styles in
 _wp_theme_json_webfonts_handler().

 Removes adding `local()` as a `@font-face` `src` within
 `_wp_theme_json_webfonts_handler()`.

 Why?

 To fix font incompatibilities when a user has the font-family locally
 installed on their viewing computer or device. It's unknown if all of the
 font-face variations specified by theme.json and/or global styles are:

 * installed on the user's computer/device.
 * and in one file or multiple files.

 The previous implementation used the `src` specified when registering the
 font with the API. That src will likely vary from user computer/device to
 user computer/device.

 To avoid these unknowns which could cause incompatibilities or styling
 issues, this changeset removes adding `local()` to the generated font-face
 CSS styles.
