Fonts previously provided in thailatex are now split into a separate package

If your old Thai LaTeX documents do not use 'thswitch' package, font families
will not be switched with sffamily or tfamily commands. Only the default one
will be used throughout the document.
To allow font switching, it is now recommended to usepackage{fonts-tlwg}. It is
currently equivalent to usepackage{thswitch}, but the latter is deprecated
soon, to allow alternative Thai font packages to come.
