Deprecate DefaultSWTFontRegistry and Completely switch to ScalingSWTFontRegistry

    1)Always use ScalingSWTFontRegistry
    2)Rename DefaultSWTFontRegistry -> LegacySWTFontRegistry as this is not default anymore
    3)Add a system property to use LegacySWTFontRegistry without monitor specific scaling active
    3)Deprecate the LegacySWTFontRegistry(DefaultSWTFontRegistry)
