DOCS: Updates docs for OSX dev with fontforge (#11956)

`fondu` is no longer available via homebrew: `Error: fondu has been
disabled because it is not maintained upstream!` (since
Homebrew/homebrew-core#66396) and the `pkg` file available on `fondu`'s
site doesn't seem to work on Big Sur. An alternative option is to use
`fontforge`, which a little `python` script (it's definitely less short
an harder to read, but it works). Additionally, it looks like the file
*might* be called `ttc` instead.

I have also updated the URL for ImageMagick's `type_gen` because it now
lives under `legacy.imagemagick.org` which causes `curl` to capture a
301 page instead.

ImageMagick is going to want to use the Helvetica font to generate the
letter-avatars:
letter-avatars. To make it available we need to extract it from the system
fonts:
```sh
brew install fondu
brew install fontforge
cd ~/Library/Fonts
fondu /System/Library/Fonts/Helvetica.dfont
export HELVETICA_FONT=/System/Library/Fonts/Helvetica.ttc # The extension might be dfont instead
fontforge -c "[open(u'%s(%s)' % ('$HELVETICA_FONT', font)).generate('%s.ttf' % font) for font in fontsInFile('$HELVETICA_FONT')]"
