more_fonts: ship "hinted" instead of "full" for "Noto Sans Arabic"

There is a really annoying problem with "Noto Sans Arabic" on Fedora:

The fontconfig file /etc/fonts/conf.d/56-google-noto-sans-arabic-vf.conf
in the google-noto-sans-arabic-vf-fonts rpm is sorted before
/etc/fonts/conf.d/56-google-noto-sans-vf.conf and sets it as default
without any "lang" restriction:

  <alias>
    <family>Noto Sans Arabic</family>
    <default>
      <family>sans-serif</family>
    </default>
  </alias>

This is not an issue with the google-noto-sans-arabic-vf-fonts rpm's
/usr/share/fonts/google-noto-vf/NotoSansArabic[wght].ttf because it
contains only appropriate languages:

    lang: ar|az-ir|fa|ks|ku-ir|ps-af|ps-pk|ug|ur|ku-iq|ota|pa-pk|sd|lah(s)
    fontversion: 131858(i)(s)

However the instdir/share/fonts/truetype/NotoSansArabic-Regular.ttf
contains extra languages:

    lang: aa|ar|ay|az-ir|bi|br|bs|ch|co|cs|cy|da|de|en|es|et|eu|fa|fi|fj|fo|fr|fur|fy|gd|gl|gv|ho|hr|hu|ia|id|ie|io|is|it|ks|ku-ir|lb|lt|lv|mg|mh|mt|nb|nds|nl|nn|no|nr|nso|ny|oc|om|pl|ps-af|ps-pk|pt|rm|ro|sk|sl|sma|smj|smn|so|sq|ss|st|sv|sw|tk|tl|tn|tr|ts|ug|ur|uz|vo|vot|wa|wen|wo|xh|yap|zu|an|crh|csb|fil|hsb|ht|jv|kj|ku-iq|ku-tr|kwm|lg|li|ms|ng|ota|pa-pk|pap-an|pap-aw|rn|rw|sc|sd|sg|sn|su|za|lah(s)
    fontversion: 131727(i)(s)

Now the combination of the rpm config file and the LO bundled ttf causes
fontconfig to prefer "Noto Sans Arabic" over "Noto Sans" for latin
script, which is a problem because the fonts have different ascent,
which causes test CppunitTest_sw_uiwriter8 testTdf157129 to fail in a
rather non-obvious manner.

Instead of the "full" build of the font, bundle the "hinted" build,
which contains only appropriate languages.

There is also an inconclusive Fedora bugreport about similar but
different problem:
