pkg-message to hint about color glyph problems with xterm/urxvt

Hi,
with the latest update, most fonts of this package can't be used in xterm(1)
and urxvt(1) 
anymore, which was not a problem with version 0.054.

Error:
xterm: unable to open font "", trying "fixed"....
X Error of failed request:  BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib
length error)
  Major opcode of failed request:  139 (RENDER)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  20 (RenderAddGlyphs)
  Serial number of failed request:  88
  Current serial number in output stream:  897

According to similar problems with noto-ColorEmoji fonts, the reason apparently
is the upstream fix for https://github.com/cormullion/juliamono/issues/201 in
0.055 (adding color glyph).

None of the Qt5 and GTK3 based apps which I tested are affected (kate, gedeit)! 

And the 'Latin' version still works in xterm(1) e.g., but the difference might
be not that obvious to everybody.
Maybe the the attached pkg-message helps people who update or browse fonts for
their xterm...
