For a single-user install everything should happen automatically, so
no need for any provisions in tlmgr.

For a multiuser install and an admin run, two actions would be
useful:

1. re-running fc-cache

2. switching to per-user caches by simply appending
   FC_CACHEDIR = $TEXMFVAR/fonts/cache
   to the root texmf.cnf.

It appears that a system fontconfig and a user cache work just fine
together.
