Add API to disable text shaping on fonts

In the past, we had an undocumented text flag that worked with
one of the QPainter::drawText() overloads. This was never intended
as public API and served a specific cause in Qt WebKit at one point.

But there is a general need for such API, as disabling shaping features
easily gives 25% performance improvement on text rendering even for
fairly short strings.

This patch adds a new style strategy flag to disable shaping and
will just uses the CMAP and HDMX tables to get glyph indices and advances
for the characters. In Qt 6, the TextBypassShaping flag can be removed
completely and be replaced by the style strategy.

[ChangeLog][QtGui][Text] Added QFont::PreferNoShaping style strategy to support
improvements to performance at the expense of some cosmetic font features.

looking font that contains the character. The NoFontMerging flag disables this feature.
Please note that enabling this flag will not prevent Qt from automatically picking a
suitable font when the selected font does not support the writing system of the text.
\value PreferNoShaping Sometimes, a font will apply complex rules to a set of characters in
order to display them correctly. In some writing systems, such as Brahmic scripts, this is
required in order for the text to be legible, but in e.g. Latin script, it is merely
a cosmetic feature. The PreferNoShaping flag will disable all such features when they
are not required, which will improve performance in most cases.
Any of these may be OR-ed with one of these flags:
