Issue #77: Liberation fonts separating 1 and 2. - i18n

Presently as you know, we have liberation-2 and liberation 1.07.4. i am maintaining both in single git repo. [1]

I am thinking to create different project for liberation2, reasons as follows

liberation 2 - It initially forked from google-croscore-fonts and now independent development is happening.
liberation 1 - Though shapes are same, liberation 1 has bytecode hinting instruction, many users like it.
Problem: Few users want to use liberation 1 and few users want to use liberation 2.
Having different project for both will help for independant development and also users can switch as per interest.
One can obsolete to other.

In Fedora we will have both packages liberation2-fonts and liberation-fonts

Let me know - feedback and suggestions. Copr for liberation2 [2]

We had little discussion in the meeting. Everyone was positive for splitting from long term perspective it is good.

This is done now. Next task for this workdone is to package these separate projects as rpms in Fedora.

Could an upstream release be made or does that require more work?

Tasks:
1. Font name changing required in all .sfd file in https://pagure.io/liberation-classic-fonts. After that we can release it.
2. Good to do new release for https://pagure.io/liberation-fonts as well, since few bug fixes are in git but not available in Fedora.
