Recommend newer serif font for Chinese

Reported by bobbyt...@wanderer.tw, Dec 7 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_1) AppleWebKit/602.2.14 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.0.1 Safari/602.2.14

Example URL:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
For current canary version of Chrome, Chinese serif font mapped to :
Simp. Han: STSong
Trad. Han: LiSong Pro

Those fonts are macOS system default, but quite old without modern font features. I'd like to recommend newer fonts for enhancing typography. And newer font also have three font weights. That is:

Simp. Han: Songti SC
Trad. Han: Songti TC

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
LiSong Pro and STSong are quite old more than 10 years ago. SongTi TC/SC added in macOS from 10.8 Lion. So now is generally installed on most of macs.

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Chrome version: 57.0.2944.0 canary (64-bit)  Channel: canary

drott/behdad/kojii do you agree?

I am not sure what's the best choice. SongTi seems widely available, but it seems to me that Sierra again has new defaults for for CJK fonts. Koji?

I have no opinion.  I'd say do what Safari does?
Safari mapped serif to Songti TC/SC for Chinese as well.

Change the default serif font for Chinese

This patch changes the default serif font for:
  Simplified Chinese: STSong -> Songti SC
  Traditional Chinese: LiSong Pro -> Songti TC

These fonts are available since 10.8, so we don't need to worry about
when these fonts are not available.
