This is not the canonical upstream source. But the upstream
source bundles many pdf files (one for each variant I assume) and
has a layout which makes it impossible to use our font-build-system.

Mozilla (where the upstream team works with), size: 90.2MiB
Upstream: 96.6MiB

Is it still acceptable for us to use github in this case?

Upstream source is https://carrois.com/typefaces/FiraSans/#!layout=editor
in case anyone wants to take a look.

The appended patch uses the github of mozilla as source.

We already fetch Fira Mono from Mozilla, so I'd say this is fine for
now. We can always change it later.
