nassh: change default font to Noto/Roboto Mono

Project Member Reported by vapier@chromium.org, May 5 2017

Issue description

the default monospace fonts we're using today incorrectly render some combining characters (see  issue 212705  and issue 212708 as examples).  we should change the default font to Noto Mono as it should handle things properly.

bundling it in the extension shouldn't be a big deal due to its size (<100k).  we might also consider bundling Roboto Mono so people can switch between them based on their preferences.

since we'll be changing the defaults on potentially a lot of users, we should implement  issue 718723  first, and then we can list this change there (as well as how to change it back).

hterm: add Noto Sans Mono to the default font list

CrOS is dropping DejaVu in favor of Noto, so add Noto to the search
list.  We put it behind DejaVu in the list so we don't change the
defaults on most users.
