Avoid assert in QTextLayout for certain strings

As in other shapers, we need to make sure that the default
attributes of the first character is set before doing the
greek-specific composition (which will set the attributes
for characters > 0). The effect of this would be that
the clusterStart did not default to true in the start of
the string, and we would get an unexpected situation
in addNextCluster() in QTextLayout which would cause an assert.

The example in the task, which combines a greek polytonic
(dasia-oxia: u1FDE) with a regular combining diacritic
(asterisk under: u0359), is not a correct string, but should
not cause an assert.
