Copy formatting attributes when cloning an empty QTextDocument

When cloning a QTextDocument, the text fragment of the original document
is copied into the new one, which results into copying also the
formatting attributes. However, when the text document is empty, the
corresponding text fragment is also empty, so nothing is copied.

If we want to transfer the formatting attributes for an empty document,
we need to set them explicitly.
