Reduce QGlyphRun memory usage and speed up large Text instances
To render the plain text of _War and Peace_ took 6.4GB of memory before (Linux 64-bit debug developer build); and now it's 1.1GB initially. More optimization is possible: sizeof(TexturedPoint2D) = 16, and we store a 16-bit index, so 3158176 glyphs ought to take about 60MB (but takes 200MB in practice); but we also store QGlyphRuns, which are actually redundant after the SG is populated. We need them in case the text can be edited, restyled, re-wrapped etc. QSGDistanceFieldGlyphNode::updateGeometry() enforces a limit of 65532 vertices per node (0xFFFF is not allowed as an index value, because it's reserved to indicate primitive restart; and glyphs are quads). But it was making copies of the remaining QPointF positions and quint32 glyph indices and giving those recursively to the subnodes, so every subnode was storing all of those for itself and all of _its_ subnodes, even though it only needs max 16383 of them. Now, in the RootGlyphNode, m_glyphs stores the glyphs that node will render (as before); but in each subnode, we use QGlyphRun::setRawData() to populate m_glyphs with a range from the index and position arrays from the root node. setRawData() just sets the pointers to those arrays; so to avoid any chance of dangling pointers, we need to keep those vectors, which live in the GlyphInfo structs in m_glyphsInOtherTextures. That's the reason the glyphsInOtherTextures hash, which was temporary before, is now kept (although the dangling pointers somehow didn't cause any crash). In the first loop over indices in updateGeometry(), each SubGlyphNode will break out of the loop as soon as it has created enough TexturedPoint2D and index instances for itself, because it no longer needs to redo the rest of the loop over indices that was done in the RootGlyphNode; this speeds up the rendering of large text. Creation of subnodes is now iterative rather than recursive, which saves stack space, and also looks better in the QSG_RENDERER_DEBUG=dump output: you can see that each RootGlyphNode has one level of direct children (161 of them for _War and Peace_). In a future change, perhaps we could create those dynamically when the user flicks down to them, and reclaim memory from children that are no longer shown; but that would not be possible if they were all nested inside each other.
