* fix: use language-specific Noto fonts for CJK PDF fallback
* feat: extend fallback to Arabic/Hebrew/Thai

Closes#2986.
Since v5.1.0 the renderer was migrated from Puppeteer to
@react-pdf/renderer. The new pipeline only registers the user-selected
typography family (e.g. Roboto, IBM Plex Serif), which contains no CJK
glyphs, so any Chinese / Japanese / Korean characters in the resume
fall back to .notdef and render as garbled boxes in both the in-app
preview and the exported PDF.
@react-pdf/renderer's textkit layer already supports per-codepoint
font substitution when a Text node is styled with `fontFamily` as a
string array — but only if every family in the stack has been
registered via Font.register. This change wires that up:
- packages/fonts: new `getPdfCjkFallbackFontFamily(family)` returns
Noto Sans SC / Noto Serif SC depending on whether the primary font
is sans-serif or serif, and `null` when no fallback is needed
(standard PDF font, or primary already is the fallback). Source Han
Sans/Serif SC covers all CJK-Unified ideographs, so a single font
transparently handles Simplified/Traditional Chinese, Japanese
kanji and Korean hanja.
- packages/pdf/hooks/use-register-fonts: after registering the
primary body/heading fonts as before, additionally register the
resolved CJK fallback (regular weight only — substitution is
per-codepoint, not per-weight, so one face is enough). The
function's return type is widened to a new `PdfTypography` whose
`body.fontFamily` and `heading.fontFamily` become
`[primary, cjkFallback]` two-element stacks.
- packages/pdf/document: cast the widened typography back through the
schema-typed `ResumeData` so the wider runtime value reaches
templates without changing the public `Typography` schema. All 15
templates already consume `metadata.typography.body.fontFamily`
directly, and `StyleSheet.fontFamily` accepts both string and
string[], so no template edits are required.
Latin-only resumes are unaffected:
- `getPdfCjkFallbackFontFamily` returns `null` for standard PDF fonts
and existing CJK selections, so the extra Font.register call is
skipped.
- When no fallback applies, `registerFonts` returns the original
typography reference unchanged (zero allocation).
- Even when the fallback is registered, textkit only consults it for
codepoints the primary font cannot render, so Latin glyphs still
come from the user-selected font with identical metrics.
