Instead of requiring that QPlatformFontDatabase::populateFontDatabase()
populates every single font in the system by calling registerFont(), we
now allow the platform database to call registerFontFamily() instead, and
then keep track of which families we've yet to fully populate in the font
database.
Once a property of a family is requested (such as its writing system,
style, etc), the family is lazily populated by calling back to the
platform database through QPlatformFontDatabase::populateFamily(),
which in turn does the final call to registerFont() as before.
This cuts application startup on OS X and iOS (of which the font population
used to be a major limiting factor) from roughly one second to about 350ms.
