Speed up QTextEngine::setBoundary

Before, setBoundary was O(N), now it is O(log N) assuming the boundaries
are added in order. (splitItem might still be linear because of the call
to QVector::insert)

This speeds up a lot QTextEngine::addRequiredBoundaries when there is a
lot of addFormats. (For example if there is a very long line with syntax
highlighting)
