Patch that replaces Splash font rendering by Qt font rendering

Previously, the Arthur backend would use Splash code to do its font rendering. 
That was not a satisfactory solution: Qt can do font rendering directly.  Also,
the Splash font rendering in the Arthur code had a few bugs, which lead to
legible-but-not-pretty fonts.

This patch replaces the Splash font rendering by Qt font rendering.  It only
adds the new code, in order to make the diff short and easy to review.  A
subsequent patch will then remove the Splash code in Arthur (which is quite a
bit).

I took a lot of inspiration from Mihai Niculescu's patch at

  https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/poppler/2013-June/010370.html

That's why the patch adds Mihai's name in the copyright list.

Bear with me if this patch is doing something really stupid: I am not a font
expert.
