Without the workaround, and when using a Core GL profile, we hit a code
path in QSGOpenGLDistanceFieldGlyphCache::resizeTexture() that produced
corrupt glyphs on M1 hardware.
We fix this by enabling the workaround, so that the user doesn't have to
set QT_ENABLE_GLYPH_CACHE_WORKAROUND themselves.
None-Core contexts do not have this problem, but the logic in
QOpenGLContext does not account for recreated contexts with different
formats, so we can't limit the workaround to Core formats only.
With the unified memory architecture of the M1 hardware, the workaround
should have limited negative effects.
In Qt 6 this is not a problem, since Qt Declarative effectively always
uses the workaround code-path, but it's worth recording the fact that
we need the workaround.
Fixes: QTBUG-89379
Pick-to: 6.2 6.1 5.15 5.12
