Resolve a font to an Android Typeface

On Android, font resolution always produces an `android.graphics.Typeface`.

This convenience method converts State<Any> to State<Typeface> to avoid casting the result.

#### Parameters

| | |
| --- | --- |
| fontFamily | fontFamily to resolve from |
| fontWeight | font weight to resolve in `fontFamily`, will use closest match if not exact |
| fontStyle | italic or upright text, to resolve in `fontFamily` |
| fontSynthesis | allow font synthesis if `fontFamily` or `fontStyle` don't have an exact match. This will allow "fake bold" (drawing with too wide a brush) and "fake italic" (drawing then skewing) to be applied when no exact match is present for the weight and style. |
