testcase

1. Open the testcase.html with Safari on Desktop
2. Inspect the text 
3. Go to the font Tab

Expected:
Display all the fonts being used

Actual: 
Only the primary defined font is shown

See how Firefox Devtools displays:
* Helvetica
* Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN

For clarification, when a font does not have all the necessary glyphs to render a piece of text, fallback fonts will be used for those missing glyphs, going through available fonts declared in `font-family` and down to the default fonts on the system. 

Web Inspector now shows just the "primary font" used to render that node's text:

There's a getter for this primary font information in `FontCascade`:
https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/845f0a548125461da779d734a84b15498a4538cb/Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/FontCascade.h#L384-L390

There's no explicit getter for fallback fonts. But a cursory look shows it might be possible to get that information by keeping records while going through `FontCascadeFonts::realizeFallbackRangesAt`:

To note that this is essential to be able to investigate some webcompat issues related to fonts.
