Distance fields are stored using a one-byte alpha component per pixel, a
format that QImage doesn't currently support. The Indexed8 format was used
instead, limiting what could be done with the QImage.
This patch introduces a new private class, QDistanceField, with a similar
API to QImage and using the Alpha8 pixel format. Unlike QImage which
aligns scanlines on a 4-byte boundary, QDistanceField tightly packs
scanlines together.
