Prevent repeated and unnecessary font population QCoreTextFontDatabase

The platform font database is populated from QFontDatabase, through the
static initializeDb() function, whenever the font database determines
that the platform database has not been initialized (by checking if the
font database is empty).

There are other clients of QPlatformFontDatabase though, such as QFont,
which uses the platform font database to check for the default family.
The CoreText implementation of determining the default family relies
on data that is computed during font population, and hence does an
internal (self-triggered) populate.

To prevent repeated populates as a result of calling QFont::defaultFamily()
we guard the populate by a similar isEmpty() check as QFontDatabase does,
but to ensure that this check works in the case of an invalidated font
database, we need to propagate the font database invalidation down to
the platform font database.
